Store donates average of $125K worth of items annually
(LAWRENCEBURG, Ind.) – The Dearborn Community Foundation continued their Proactive Grant initiative.
The initiative allows DCF board members to nominate an organization for a $1,000 grant.
DCF board member Jeanne Lehn suggested the Open Door Thrift Store as a recipient.
The thrift store has been in operation for 14 years with the mission of offering support to help people recover from tough times.
“We provide clothing and household goods to women and their children entering local shelters. Proceeds from the thrift store help support these women as they leave the shelters,” said Harvey. “Our mission is to help women achieve self-sufficiency and independence by offering a helping hand.”
With help from local donations, Open Door Thrift Store sells affordable clothing and household goods. The store has 10,000 square feet of donations. Since opening in 2010, the store has donated an average of $125,000 worth of items yearly to the community and Matthew 25 Ministries.
Open Door Thrift Store supports Safe Passage, Women’s Crisis Center, YMCA Battered Women’s Shelter, Heart House, Local Churches, Pregnancy Care Center, Baby Basket, Clearing House, Dearborn Foster Care System, Dearborn Social Services, Community Mental Health Clinic, and Matthew 25 Ministries.
Donations are accepted Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 812-926-0184, or visit opendoorin1@gmail.com
