about us
At the Home of Heroes Thrift Shop, our mission goes beyond providing quality, affordable secondhand goods and a convenient place for military families to donate. We are dedicated to strengthening our military community by reinvesting 100% of our monthly profits into grants that support programs, organizations, and initiatives benefiting Soldiers, their families, and our surrounding communities. Every purchase and donation helps us give back to those who serve and the community that supports them.
