The North Raleigh Ministries Thrift Shoppe supports the ministry monetarily: 

provides furniture, clothing, and housewares for eligible clients; 

and provides volunteer opportunities for civic and school organizations, churches, businesses, and individuals.

NRM strives to help clients return to stable, productive lives.  Sometimes they find themselves abandoned and overwhelmed, with great need for clothing and furniture.  NRM has been able to provide both in many situations.
