Offering help with purchasing non-food items!
Hours of Operation: Monday 10:00 - 4:00, Wednesday 10:00-1:00, Friday 8:30-10:30
Made possible by community donations of gently used household items.
We sell beds, furniture, electronics, appliances, linens and kitchenware at very deep discounts (example $10 for a couch) to people who meet eligibility requirements. This helps pay our bills and families get items they could not otherwise afford.
To donate these high demand items, contact us at 724 464-5220 or ihnindiana@gmail.com.
