Overview

Mission

To provide assistance to individuals and families in need in the surrounding community through the efforts of an all volunteer workforce.

What it reported doing in 2025

Mary Martha Thrift Shop has only one mission: to help individuals and families in the community. We rely on donations of clothing and household items that are processed for resale in our shop. Proceeds from the sale of items are returned to the community in the following ways: the seven churches that support Mary Martha receive regular donations to their benevolence needy family accounts; local food pantries receive regular donations and other charitable organizations in the area who have indicated a need for assistance receive that help. We also provide free clothing to individuals and families in need who have been referred to us by various local organizations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 95% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
