Pella-based Many Hands Thrift Market is expanding, with its new location in the Jordan Creek area set to open later this summer. The growing network of thrift stores partners with local leaders and organizations to supply resources to clothing closets, homeless shelters, and other community centers. The organization also directly supports relief programs in Haiti and Abaco Bahamas.
Tim Brand, founder and CEO of Many Hands Thrift Market says a wide variety of items will be accepted: “We accept books, clothing, electronics, furniture, shoes, toys.
