About Us
We provide free clothing to needy families in 3 school districts, several groups and churches in the La Habra community. We have a wide range of antiques to clothing that we sell at low prices. We also sell on eBay items under lahabraptathrift. These items are new, collectible, antiques and unique. Our clothing ranges from preemie to 4XL.
How We Got Started
Three school districts provided the funding to open the shop and it has been an all-volunteer non-profit organization since its inception in 1958. We continue the mission that our first officers started in 1958 and hope to keep it going. We continue to keep the shop open with volunteers.

I am the wife of a retired Army Colonel. When my girls were young and my husband was away on active duty, the girls would always come down sick. It never failed. So, while I have not served, I did help out in my own little way to provide support to my husband.

We are a small little shop, doing our best to stay open. But, we have a referral system in place with the schools where we provide free clothing to the entire family. When it gets closer to Christmas, we invite those families to come into our shop and pick out Christmas items for free from our shop. We used to provide food and toys for these families, but are now unable to do it.

Our expenses are bare minimum, utilities and rent. We have no extra funds for websites or extra expenses. What comes in sales both in store and online via eBay and OfferUp helps us meet a good portion of our expenses. But when sales are down, it is difficult to cut down on expenses as there is nothing left to cut down on.
I volunteer my time at the shop so my spouse is not my partner. He supports the help I provide the shop.

When the first wave of the pandemic hit, I was able to list as much as possible on eBay for sale and some items on OfferUp. That helped me pay all my utilities and partial rent. If we hit another surge, as is expected, I will continue to list as much as possible again on eBay and on OfferUp,...

When the first wave of the pandemic hit, I was able to list as much as possible on eBay for sale and some items on OfferUp. That helped me pay all my utilities and partial rent. If we hit another surge, as is expected, I will continue to list as much as possible again on eBay and on OfferUp, with sidewalk pickup. I believe that will help us through this pandemic again. I am hopeful.

I list on eBay for sale items that we receive at the shop and it is difficult to find a box that is large enough to accommodate the item. Through Alignable, I received help from Platinum Containers. I was able to ship a heavy object without worrying that my box would fall apart. I had tried to put several boxes together but after looking at my work, I did not think it would hold up for shipment. Platinum was happy to help me for which I am eternally grateful.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to do it since I somehow got locked out of Facebook and I can no longer access it via my home computer.

I continue to sell our donations on eBay, which have kept us afloat. I have also sold via OfferUp, though sometimes the person does not show up. Now that we are open, we are making a little money but not enough to pay our back rent.

I help run a Thrift Shop, which has been in business this July for 62 years. I am a volunteer and our shop uses volunteers to man the shop since it first opened in 1958. I was unable to receive any funding at all since we have no payroll or employees. I cannot receive any help from the banks because we are a non-profit and we do not qualify. I have managed to pay all our utilities but only partial rent. My landlady keeps wanting back rent, but business has been slow so I don't know when I can fully pay our rent. Customers are coming in and the income is not enough to help meet our rent. I am hoping it will get better as the months progress.
