For the past sixteen years, Options’ Thrift Shop has been part of the Lake Ronkonkoma community. The thrift shop, provides Options' program participants with disabilities a volunteer opportunity where they learn basic retail skills in a supportive environment. Learning to operate a cash register, price items, design displays, and interact with customers are just some of the skills that are learned at the thrift shop. The shop is also a valuable resource for individuals and families in need of low-cost, gently used clothing, books, toys and household items.
“I can’t tell you how sad this makes us all” said Linda Longo, Community Resources Coordinator, and supervisor at the thrift shop. “We have a solid base of support in this community. Our program participants, volunteers, and customers are just heartbroken.”
