Social Enterprises
Outreach Social Enterprises turn everyday transactions into opportunities for meaningful impact. When you shop, donate, volunteer, or engage with one of our businesses, you're helping strengthen Outreach's broader mission in the community.
The model
Our Social Enterprise businesses do more than sell products and services. They create opportunities for people, engage volunteers and customers, put donated resources to good use, and help support Outreach's work throughout the community.
Four businesses
Quality furniture. Second chances. Community impact.
A full-size store built around donated and pre-owned furniture, staffed by paid trainees learning retail, inventory and customer service. Donated pieces find a second home, and the work becomes experience someone can build a résumé on.
Great finds. Greater purpose.
A resale shop where trainees build retail and customer service experience on the floor. Shopping and donating here help support the wider work of Outreach in the community.
Good things deserve another story.
A resale shop with paid transitional jobs, where trainees learn merchandising, pricing and customer service alongside supportive staff.
Transportation Can Change a Life.
Donated vehicles are repaired and matched with families who need reliable transportation to work and school. A working car can be the difference between a job offer and a missed shift.
How it works
A high-level explanation of the social enterprise model, not a financial or operational guarantee.
Employment
A social enterprise environment can create room for people to practice the parts of work that are hardest to learn in a classroom.
Donations
Furniture, clothing, household goods and vehicles donated to an Outreach Social Enterprise can find a second useful life, and support community impact along the way.
Accepted items, donation hours and drop-off details vary by business. Check the business page or call the store before you load the truck.
