H.O.T. merchandise benefits School of Nursing students
Think you've seen everything there is to see at the House of Thrift Secondhand Store? Think again. Manager Joni Jones is at it again, filling up the store with all new merchandise.
H.O.T. owned and operated by the School of Nursing Alumni Association, is a major source of student scholarships for the school.
Proceeds from the H.O.T. store are used to help ensure nursing education for current and future School of Nursing students.
All the new and used name-brand clothing, accessories, toys, books, furniture, appliances, and collectibles are donated. Most of the labor is done on a volunteer basis.
Says Ms. Jones, "You should only come by the store if you're looking for top-quality items. You will never find ‘run-of-the-mill' thrift store clothes here."
Approximately every three months Ms. Jones and her employees clear out the entire front section of the store to make room for the new merchandise that crowds the back room. The H.O.T. Boutique, a more specialized section of the store, is marked down and moved to the front along with the new items.
All unsold merchandise is given to Adventist Development Relief Agency International (ADRA) or a similar charity organization.
The House of Thrift Secondhand Store is located at 24871 Redlands Boulevard, in Loma Linda, right next to the Union 76 gas station. For more information on donating items or volunteering at the store, please call Joni Jones at (909) 796-2812.
