This food is then distributed to local pantries in various parts of the County to ensure that citizens have convenient access when a need arises.

I found out about Revive from a Facebook suggested page. I was surprised there was a thrift store…read morein downtown Ephrata that I knew nothing about considering I'm up there frequently. As per their Facebook page they are described as the owner had a dream to purchase property, have her own store, and provide affordable housing to women in need. This store is considered for profit, however she states that she uses the funds to renovate the upstairs apartments in hope to help women escape bad relationships by providing affordable housing options. I support her vision. I was lucky enough to visit the store a few weeks before Christmas when the parking meters were covered. Normally there's a fee for street parking however I'm not sure if it's because of the season or covid that street parking was free. It's a bit hard to secure downtown and difficult to back out of since the spots are slanted but not impossible. Inside the store has an overwhelming amount of stuff. Not quite hoarder level but there's alot to take in. The property is a series of small rooms, you walk thru one to get to another, with lots of nooks and crannies. It is a challenging space to set up for retail and she does what she can to make it organized. It is hard to walk thru some areas and definitely leave the stroller and big handbag at home! Some areas have nice displays and she does have a good eye for showcasing more precious items. Overall there's every department that a larger thrift store would have, just separated a bit. What surprised me was everything was yard sale prices - like .50 cents and a $1! While some of the clothing items were dated I did find some nice kids pieces that I couldn't leave without for .50 apiece! Many of the house and glasswear pieces were vintage and still priced at yard sale prices. I honestly don't know how she makes any money. On the porch was a free clothing pile which I didn't investigate. The owner was very friendly and let you walk around and explore on your own without being intrusive, but was available to help if you needed her. They are cash only so be sure to bring some and definitely allow yourself some time as this is not an in and out kind of shop. Worth adding to my thrifting rotation whenever parking is available.

This is a food bank…read more Why give? Because they're working hard to get food into hungry people's hands. This is a mission. They have to break even, but this is a mission of theirs. It's worth supporting. 1. You may make a food donation, if you have something in quantity that is of good quality that you're ready to donate. 2. The second way to help is to give your time. They need help making up boxes (about 30 lbs per box of fresh food) that are distributed to needy persons up and down the east coast of the US and out into the middle of the country. 3. Give em some cash. They have to pay for all their utilities and their building and they have paid staff as well as volunteers. This food bank makes up food boxes that get distributed not just all over Lancaster County, but all over the eastern half of the country. They really help a LOT of people. You can make a difference helping them help others. Lancaster County is a special place. Blessings of Hope is part of what makes it special.

Gentle reader, One…read morething you should understand about me: thrifting is in my DNA. The drive to reduce/reuse/recycle and the love of a great bargain were instilled in me at a very young age. Understanding this, of course I made a hard right into the parking lot of Community Aid when I was driving past. I had time. It looked decent. I am me. Parking was plentiful and free in their large shared lot. I headed in, got a cart, and surveyed the space. First impression: Well organized. Clean. Easy to navigate. Cool. Devin impression: good quality thrift at very good prices. Generally they understand what they have and generally I saw them loving their mission to aid the local community. How? Well, not pricing a donated item stupid high. Prices were very fair. I found a few lovely things, my favorite being a circa late 80s Anne Klein belt that I am almost certain is identical to one I loved as a teen. Yay! Staff were friendly and accessible. I would totally go back again next time I'm in the area.

Maybe I was too preoccupied with the big box thrifts in the area; Community Aid, Salvation Army, and Goodwill to go out and explore those less known. Do yourself a favor - don't make my mistake! This little thrift store is full of treasures waiting to be discovered and supports a number of ministry projects. Easy to find off Route 72 and open till 8 pm most days this location in a residential neighborhood has its own lot. Inside you'll find displays that will rival any retail store window. The organization is thoughtfully arranged by color/size/garment and it's easy to find exactly what you're looking for. If you're a brand whore you won't be disappointed. I saw many Chico, Dress Barn, and even Michael Koors pieces, all in top notch condition. Several items still had tags attached. While their inventory isn't as plentiful as the big box thrift, it's ample. Quality and current trends were on point. Just like their Palmyra sister store the jewelry display is artfully arranged. Prices were fair. On average shirts ran from $3.99-$5.99, jeans and pants a bit higher. I scored a great pair of like new shoes for $3, Halloween items were just .25 cents apiece - regardless if it was a pair of funky glasses or a full blown costume. While there were only a few, it's worth checking out. Aside from ladies clothing which dominates the store you'll find a men's section, children's clothing, toys, housewares, a very small furniture dept. (with signs saying that area will be transformed into a Christmas area in the next few weeks), housewares, wicker, bric brack, books, + a small card & craft section. While I browsed soft music played overhead and the cashier was very eager to assist in any way she could to enhance your shopping experience. The two dressing rooms were clean, spacious, and had plenty of hooks. A 50% off coupon can be found in some of the weekly rural newspaper editions and they also offer different specials/sales events from time to time. They even accept returns on clothing only up to 14 days. Electronics are checked but you're encouraged to plug in and verify for yourself since they can't be returned. Donations are easy to unload at the dock and I overheard they welcome your donation of unwanted boxes and plastic bags. Now that I know they exist I'll be checking them out more often!

I understand if you have to follow orders from corporate regarding pricing, but at some point being a willful concubine to the greed of a capitalist system wearing a mask of "doing the most good" must be taking a toll on you, right? Like you have to be aware of just how crazy you're being. Unless you've let the job bleed you dry of your baseline humanity to the point of utter apathy. Your pricing on certain items is absolutely insane! Like you're truly just out of your mind and should probably be heavily medicated. Out here acting like it's a premium antique store in the richest of neighborhoods instead of the THRIFT store that it's supposed to be. $150 for some glass coasters. $250 for an old stove. $500 for a Barbie house!?! These are all USED items that are GIVEN to you, a THRIFT store for FREE! And I understand there are operating costs of running the stores, but there's also a line that you're clearly way too comfortable crossing when it comes to the prices you put in front of every day thrift shoppers. During my visit I heard literally five customers make a remark about the insane prices you're slapping people in the face with. Read the damn room! Send this on up to your corporate masters if you truly don't have any control over your businesses pricing strategy because whether it's you or some higher managment forcing this twisted policy on the public, there's at least one ABSOLUTE PSYCHOPATH working for the Salvation Army and y'all need to know how it's making you look to the people you're supposedly in business to "help".
