Your donations and patronage of the Agapè Thrift Store can help transform the lives of residents and their families. We gratefully accepts many different donated items to be sold in our Thrift store. We strive to offer the best quality merchandise as possible so we do request that donated items be gently used and in good condition, for example no stains, rips, tears, or missing or broken pieces.
