Indoor Yard Sale and Thrift Store Gives Back to Community Veterans

In the small town of Elberta you'll find big love. In a heartwarming effort to support and uplift veterans in the community, a local initiative has taken shape with an indoor yard sale that goes above and beyond traditional fundraising. This inspiring project not only provides a platform for individuals to donate their gently used items but also opens a doorway where all proceeds directly benefit local veterans. "We are a total volunteer thrift store. No paid employees. We use the money we make after expenses to help local veterans. We also help the local community with donations too." - Cindy Whaley 

The concept is simple yet impactful. The community members are encouraged to donate unwanted but usable items such as clothing, furniture, household goods, and shop the indoor sale. These generous donations are organized, cleaned, and put up for sale in the thrift store, creating a treasure trove of affordable finds. 

It has become a gathering place where individuals can connect, share stories, and show gratitude to the brave men and women who have served their country. It's an opportunity for the community to come together and make a tangible difference. Your support continues to help them help others. Cash and credit cards are accepted.
