Options Thrift Shop - Options for Community Living, Inc.
Options Thrift Shop opened in 1991 as a pre-vocational training activity for participants in the Mental Health Residential Programs. Volunteers from Options programs learn basic retail and customer service skills under the guidance of an Options staff member. The thrift shop is grateful for donations and welcomes volunteers interested in working with our participants in this very supportive environment.
*The thrift shop relies on volunteers and is subject to closing on occasion. Please call before you visit.
Located at our Medford community residence, supportive housing residents volunteer to learn basic horticultural skills with the assistance of an experienced horticultural rehabilitation specialist. Activities can be varied according to abilities. The greenhouse is open five days a week year-round. Many of our volunteers find that working with plants is therapeutic and rewarding.
Participants also create artistic handcrafted pieces which are available for sale at Options Thrift Shop or by contacting the administrative office at (631) 361-9020 ext. 1131.
