More than 4,000 people volunteer for the Unity Shoppe each year. Volunteers include senior citizens, youth, community leaders, businesses, service clubs, local celebrities and media representatives. Many others donate food and clothing as well. Two million dollars in merchandise is donated annually by the community. The services provided by the Unity Shoppe work to prevent homelessness and welfare dependency.
People are able to pay their rent and move their lives forward.
More than half of those serviced by the organization were able to continue working in low paying jobs, while they worked themselves through crisis situations. Forty percent of those receiving help were single women living on one income. All rights reserved.
