It was brought to our attention that there is another great thrift store in Palmer! I went to Family First Treasures to see what they had to offer. Family First Treasures is a non-profit thriftstore; the proceeds go to help support the services provided by Alaska Family Services. The proceeds are used primarily for the Dorthy Saxton Shelter, and ROSA House. Pick up a brochure at the store to learn more and see other ways to help.

In addition to the great deals and their contributions, the store host different events throughout the year, ranging from free health screenings to family activities. Some activities from 2010 included a cancer screening day, blood drive, domestic violence awareness events, nutrition awareness, substance abuse prevention and tobacco prevention events. Stop by the store to see what this year holds!

I made my way through this large store to find many things other local thrift stores do not offer. They have adequte space to have large home furnishings, large appliances, and even a bathroom vanity! If you have large items in good condition, give them a call to see if they have room.

You will find a wide assortment of clothes, office supplies and furniture, exercise equipment, holiday items/decorative pieces, media and other accessories. The store was clean and well-organized so I was able to navigate the treasures easily. Hope you enjoy your visit and find something you will use, while helping our community!
