Since 1985 The Hibiscus Children's Center has provided over 3,000 abused, abandoned, and neglected children with shelter, medical and dental services, mental health counseling and education. Every year the Hibiscus house provides services to 1,800 children and families in St. Lucie and Indian River Counties.
To pay for their programs, the Hibiscus House operates the Hibiscus Treasure House Thrift Shop located at the base of the Roosevelt Bridge. The 5,000 foot thrift store is run by volunteers. Inside you can find clothing, accessories, small appliances, furniture, household goods, toys, books, and collectibles. The sale of donations to Hibiscus Treasure House provides money for their programs as well as supplies the Hibiscus Children's Center's residential facilities with the items the children may need like clothing, baby items, furniture, toys, games, and movies. Families in need and children aging out of foster care can also obtain vouchers to shop at the thrift store.
This was my first visit to this store and I was impressed by both the mission of this charity and the excellent store they run. I was able to fill a bag with toys for my classroom and holiday decorations for $7. When I was checking out I mentioned what I was purchasing the items for and they gave me an educator's discount. Please support this wonderful organization by donating your gently used items and by shopping here. They have their own truck to pick up your large furniture donations. read more
