Do We Need A Thrift Store in Talent?
Yes. I mean first of all Worthwhile is so much more than a thrift store, but also have you been to Goodwill lately? And three, yes.

Seeking: One Storefront
The Worthwhile Mercantile is looking for its first home
We've got the vision, the ideas, the motivation, and the skill set to be able to open this secondhand shop and make it a success. We even have a good supply of inventory and plenty of volunteer support in the queue. What we don't have? A storefront. And that part is kind of important.
It's been quite a challenge to find commercial space to rent in Talent, Oregon. There just aren't a lot of options! We know that rebuilding the city's commercial area with new structures is going to take time. But we also want to turn this sweet idea into a reality sooner rather than later, because we truly believe this community very much needs this right now. So... if you know about any commercial space opening up in Talent, we would absolutely love to hear about it!
Worthwhile Mercantile is a soon-to-be
Non-Profit Thrift Store
& Community Exchange
in Talent, Oregon
The purpose of the Worthwhile Mercantile is to bring more low and no-cost goods to Talent while providing a supportive, constructive space for relationship building and service-oriented activities that benefit lower-income residents and enrich the lives of all community members.
Worthwhile is what you might call a Thrift Store Plus. Affordable used clothes, shoes, bedding and decor AND a warm, welcoming environment where local residents will find opportunities to connect with their neighbors and improve their lives.
Because everybody has something worthwhile to contribute to their community
