The store sells the goods at bargain prices and gives the money to the Arc of Monmouth, which uses it to provide programs and services for mentally retarded individuals and their families. Everybody wins, Baker says. The Main Street thrift shop is one of three stores run by the nonprofit organization in the county. And those are just two of the items that fill the jammed racks and shelves. Linens, belts, ties, coats, children's car seats, dishes, cameras, computers and more spill out onto the sidewalk in front of the shop.
Customers never know what they'll find here.
But they're confident that it'll be a more than worth the price. Dozens of Christmas wreaths, green and red candles, and holiday decorations donated to the shop were sold within 15 minutes of delivery. I bought a sports jacket for my husband for 35 cents.
