Second Chances: 4 Reasons to Donate to Jericho Road Thrift Stores

Donating to our thrift stores does more than clear out your closet. Every item you give creates a ripple effect that impacts lives, homes, and the community around you. Here are four meaningful reasons your donations matter.

1. You support life-changing recovery programs
Proceeds from our thrift stores directly support individuals walking the difficult road of recovery. Your donated items help fund housing, counseling, job training, and long-term support—turning unused belongings into real hope.

2. You clean and organize your home with purpose
Donating is a practical way to declutter without waste. Instead of items sitting unused or ending up in storage, they’re put back into circulation where they can actually be useful again.

3. You help the environment through reuse and recycling
Every donated item reduces waste and keeps usable goods out of landfills. Reusing clothing, furniture, and household items conserves resources and lowers the environmental cost of producing new ones.

4. You help people without spending money
Donations support two groups at once: individuals in recovery and thrift shoppers who rely on affordable goods. It’s a powerful way to give back—no cash required—while meeting real needs in your community.

When you donate, you’re not just getting rid of things. You’re investing in restoration — one bag, box, or piece of furniture at a time.
