History

The Salvation Army Thrift Store in Ithaca, New York, boasts a history deeply intertwined with the organization's longstanding commitment to supporting individuals and addressing societal shifts.

The store’s roots are connected to The Salvation Army’s broader mission, which has historically focused on assisting those facing challenging circumstances, including farm women, throughout its operations.

This support reflects a response to evolving roles for women, particularly in the wake of the Industrial Revolution and the introduction of technologies like the sewing machine, which dramatically altered textile production and women’s work.

Notably, the Ithaca store’s history includes connections to legal battles, such as Faulkner’s lawsuit against The Citadel, a struggle that underscored the ongoing fight for women’s access to education and equal opportunities.
