THRIFT STORE

The Metropolitan Ministries Thrift Store proudly serves the Tampa Bay community in many ways. We provide much needed clothing, furniture, appliances and many other items to homeless and low-income families. We also sell many items to the community at unbeatable prices with proceeds supporting  the ongoing mission of the Ministries.

The Thrift Store is staffed by residents of Metropolitan Ministries involved in our Uplift U®  program. We give on-the-job  training to these individuals and career skills.

Through generous donors, we are able to provide furniture and other household items to families in our Rapid Re-Housing program to help alleviate some of the stresses associated with moving into a new residence, especially in some cases, without any furniture, clothing or cookware.

Other items are sold to people within the community who know that by patronizing the Metropolitan Ministries Thrift Store, they are helping families in Tampa Bay regain their independence and self-sufficiency.
