The Daisy Thrift Store is a fresh boutique for women, and proceeds support Fresh Start services for women experiencing homelessness. Since it opened in 2007, The Daisy has raised over half a million dollars for the shelter! We started with 3 hours a week and now are open 16 hours a week, to provide high quality gently used clothing and home decor items. THANK YOU to everyone in The Daisy family who continues to support Fresh Start through the shop.
The Daisy is operated by volunteers. Please contact LaCresha if you are interested in volunteering in the shop or in the back room with inventory.
Our shoppers love the high-quality, gently-worn items hand-selected by volunteers. Only fashionable items, clean and in good repair are considered for sale. Items sold in the Daisy include women’s clothing, accessories and small household items.
Items sold come from the donations received from generous members of the community. The women who live at Fresh Start have the first opportunity to select clothing, what they do not select is then sorted by the Daisy volunteers and placed in the shop. Gift certificates are provided to other local service organizations that serve women in order to make the clothing items available to more people in need.
If you are interested in more information, want to volunteer or would like to be on the Daisy email list, please contact our office at 402.475.7777.
