Thrift Store Helping Hands of Van Buren County began as a grassroots effort in Clinton, Arkansas, born from a desire to address food insecurity and provide essential household items to those in need within the Van Buren County community.
Established in 2014 by a small group of dedicated volunteers, the organization initially operated out of a donated space, driven by a simple but powerful mission: to collect gently used clothing, furniture, and other goods and redistribute them to individuals and families struggling to make ends meet.
The founders, recognizing the significant amount of discardable wealth within the area, envisioned a sustainable way to combat poverty and foster a stronger sense of community support.
Early efforts focused on accepting donations from local churches, businesses, and individuals.
The organization quickly gained traction, fueled by word-of-mouth and the genuine need it fulfilled.
Over time, Thrift Store Helping Hands evolved from a sporadic volunteer operation to a structured, regularly-operating thrift store, continuously expanding its reach and impact within Van Buren County.
The store’s success is directly attributed to the unwavering dedication of its volunteers and the generosity of the community.
