Our Harrisonburg Stores
Our three stores exist for the purpose of supporting the operational and support needs of the Mercy House Mission. Support for the mission would not be possible if not for the generous donations provided by the community. We hold in the highest regard our responsibility of stewardship over the handling of those donations.
Our stores also serve to provide low or no cost items such as clothing or household items to people in need throughout our community. The Thrift Stores vibrant and thriving business provides employment opportunities to some residents as they transition from homelessness.
Opening in 1996, our flagship store, the Mercy House Thrift Store, located at 1005 S. High St. is truly unique in Harrisonburg. It serves many purposes. They include providing a source of low cost and good condition essential items to the community, with many essential items such as clothing and housewares priced at or below $1.00. It also serves to provide employment options to help residents transition to better opportunities. In addition to sale items, The Mercy House provides items at no cost to members of the community in need. Whether it be clothing, appliances, linens or housewares, all employees are empowered to make decisions to help those in need.
Opening in February 2015, the MERCY HOUSE BUILDING SUPPLIES store, located at 1001 S. High Street:
Our newest store, Mercy House Thrift Store Timberville, is our first thrift operation outside the city limits of Harrisonburg. Located at 148 N. Main Street, Timberville, Virginia, our store provides great quality clothing, housewares, linens and furniture at prices not found in the area. We are very excited to expand our presence to the Timberville community and provide residents of northern Rockingham County the ability to save money while continuing to support families in need in the area.
The generosity of those who donate to the Mercy House is essential to our mission. Recently, a very benevolent customer came to the Thrift Store with a late model used car and inquired about the possibility of donating it to a resident in need. We were able to facilitate that transaction and now, one of our residents has transportation to maintain employment.
