Helping Hand Shop

This is a good thrift shop for the not too picky buyer. If you really need clothing and want the money to go to a good cause, this is the place for you. There is a section for individually priced items and then another section that is all fill a bag for $3.00. Sometimes you can find the hidden "pearl" amongst the lot of not so great finds, but in general it is not great items. As well as that, because the workers are allowed to smoke in the store, you can immediately smell the stench when you open the door (whether the current worker is smoking or not). It is not pleasant and takes several washings to get the smell out of the clothing. However, if you really need clothing and don't have a lot of money, this is the place to go. Proceeds from this store also go to Hospice which is definitely the main reason I go back more than anything.

PROS: cheap clothing
CONS: smoke smell, not a great selection of quality items
