CLOTHING AND HOME RESOURCE CENTER “This is the best place… I found everything I need here.” –Curtis, Clothing & Home Resource Center shopper
Pay a visit to any of our eight Greater Cincinnati thrift stores, and you’re bound to find quality clothing, décor, and household goods at affordable prices. Our thrift stores are an essential part of what we do – generating significant support that helps fund our programs and services. Even further, our thrift stores help ensure neighbors have access to the basics through our voucher program, which provided $419,229 worth of clothing and furniture to struggling families at no cost in 2021.
Neighbors who receive our vouchers for clothing and housewares now have a new resource to turn to. The Clothing and Home Resource Center opened in the fall of 2021, filling the space on the first floor of the Liz Carter Center, formerly home to the Lindner Family Choice Food Pantry, Charitable Pharmacy, front desk and lobby, welcome rooms, loading dock and more. With these services now housed in the Neyer Outreach Center, this area has been efficiently transformed into a dignified retail space exclusively for neighbors shopping with vouchers. Now, neighbors who are issued a voucher at the Neyer Outreach
Center need only to cross the street to access the essentials they need. The Clothing and Home Resource center is also the primary location for bed pickups through our Rahe Bed Program. Making services more accessible to neighbors by co-locating them and offering concurrent operating hours has been a major focus of our 5-year Upward Together Strategic Operating Plan. We are grateful for this new space, which is now making the process for redeeming a clothing or household voucher easier than ever before.
