Recycled Treasures was established in 2007 to fill the gap after the closing

 of the only nonprofit second hand shop, so that low income families could 

shop and buy household items and basic furniture at low cost.

Within three months, Recycled Treasures had secured 3,000 feet, had 

received a donation of a truck and filled the new shop space half way with 

donations. By the time the doors opened for business in July 2007, it had 

received its 501c3 status from the IRS and its shop was full.

Since 2007, Recycled Treasures has assisted hundreds of families with the 

basic items needed to live through shopping, or through its Emergency 

Furniture Program and its Give Away Program.
