We're navigating challenges, but our resolve remains unshaken. As we bid farewell to this space after the owners' decision to pursue a different path, we're choosing to amplify the positive impact we've made. This Sunday marks our last day, but we're going out with purpose - every item in the shop is now pay what you can. We've raised $150 for school supplies for children in need, and with an additional $80 from our raffle, we're committed to delivering on our promise. Though this chapter closes, we're working tirelessly to secure a new space to serve families. The journey's been unpredictable, but our commitment to the mission remains unwavering. Together, let's harness our energy to drive positive change and support those who need it most. Join us today and take what you need, as everything must go.

What’s happening Chester

We are on the hunt for some awesome donations - think non-perishable food, frozen and refrigerated goodies. Oh, and if you're having a yard sale, estate sale, or just cleaning out your pad, we'll come pick up your gently used treasures. All donations are welcome, except tube TVs - those are just so last season. And, just a heads up, we inspect all beds before taking them, because, well, you know. We're open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM, so swing by and see what you just can't live without... or what you think you can't live without, lol
