why it matters
Your well-loved items change lives.
Every piece of clothing, every household item, every donated good that comes through our doors gets a second life — and directly funds care for widows, foster families, and neighbors in need.
The ROSE Thrift and MORE! runs on the generosity of people like you. When you donate, you're not just clearing out your closet. You're stocking a store that funds a mission. You're putting resources in the hands of families who need them. You're part of something bigger than a donation drop-off.
And we never take that lightly.
WHAT WE ACCEPT
We'd love to receive these
We carefully select items that meet our quality standards — so our shoppers always find something worth buying, and every sale goes further for the mission.
Clothing & Accessories
Gently used clothing, shoes, handbags, and accessories for all ages — from everyday basics to name brands. Clean, wearable, and in good condition.
Home Goods & Kitchenware
Dishes, cookware, décor, lamps, and small appliances with all parts included and in full working condition.
Linen & Bedding
Clean towels, sheets, blankets, and curtains in good condition.
Books, Puzzles & Games
Books of all kinds, complete puzzles, and board games with all pieces.
Toys & Crafts
Children's toys in safe, usable condition and craft supplies ready to be enjoyed again.
Antiques & Collectibles
We love antiques. If you have something special, bring it in — these often become some of our most treasured finds.
A Note on QualitY
We curate with care.
To maintain the quality our shoppers expect — and to honor the dignity of those we serve — we're unable to accept stained or torn clothing, large furniture without prior approval, or broken and incomplete appliances or electronics.
Not sure if your item qualifies?
Reach out before you come — we'd rather help you decide than turn you away at the door.
For furniture donations specifically, please email photos to John Featherstone before bringing anything in. Exceptions are made on a case-by-case basis.

stories of impact
This is what happens when a community comes together
After losing my husband, I didn’t know where to turn. The ROSE TLC provided not just practical help, but a community that made me feel less alone.
The volunteers at ROSE TLC treated me with such dignity. They didn’t just fix things in my home, they restored my hope.
Finding affordable clothing for my growing children at the thrift store has been a blessing. Knowing it supports such a worthy cause makes it even better.
Volunteering with ROSE TLC has been the most rewarding experience. The relationships I’ve built with the widows I visit weekly have enriched my life immeasurably.
As a pastor, I’ve seen how ROSE TLC fills crucial gaps in serving our community’s most vulnerable. Their work is truly the hands and feet of Christ.
When we moved here, we knew no one. The community dinners hosted by ROSE TLC helped us make friends and find our place in this town.
