By all appearances, Freedom Thrift looks like any other thrift store, but our mission makes us different. Proceeds from your purchase directly support Revelations of Freedom Ministries (ROFM), uplifting and empowering men who are struggling with addiction. ROFM guides these men to become disciples of Christ. Teaching them to be productive in the workplace. Using their earnings to bless others and glorify God, while managing their life based on Biblical principles. As part of ROFM’s life skills program the men work at Freedom Thrift. They aren’t just sorting donations; they are building a future. In 2021, CEO Tom Carr started the Life Skills program to show the men their value to the ministry. They gain valuable job skills such as time management, teamwork, initiative, and accountability which can be added to their resume. The men learn to take pride in their work and are actively participating in their recovery.
