Every item you give goes directly into the hands of a child or family who needs it.
At Johnnie-Mae’s Thrift Store, non-monetary donations are just as vital as financial support. Gently used clothing, baby essentials, and beauty items help us keep our shelves stocked for foster children, teen parents, and families in our community — often within days of a donation coming in.
Why Your Donation Matters
Support Local Families
Your donations provide essential items to foster children, teen parents, and families in our community — and 10% of our earnings go directly back into supporting them.
Create Brighter Tomorrows
Gently used items help build confidence, dignity, and hope for children and parents facing tough times.
Stronger Community
Together, we can bridge the gap and ensure no child or family feels unseen or unsupported.
Clothing must be washed,
and items must be gently used.
Beauty products must be unopened, unused, and securely sealed for health and safety regulations.
The pacifiers, baby bottles and toys must be sanitized.

Help & Donate
Right now, nearly 330,000 children are in foster care across the U.S.
Most under age 8, and thousands aging out each year without a family to call their own.
Your donation helps provide clothing, diapers, and everyday essentials to kids and families in our community who need it most. Every gift, big or small, makes a real difference.
