Options Thrift Shop opened in 1991 as a pre-vocational training activity for participants in the Mental Health Residential Programs. Volunteers from Options programs learn basic retail and customer service skills under the guidance of an Options staff member. The thrift shop is grateful for donations and welcomes volunteers interested in working with our participants in this very supportive environment.
