OppShop Thrift Store and Client Vouchers From Opportunity House
OppShop is a retail thrift store run by Opportunity House, which serves people experiencing homelessness in the Reading area. People the shelter is serving receive vouchers to shop at OppShop, and everyone else in the community can buy the same goods at discounted prices.
The store is stocked with donations of gently used items, which are resold to support the shelter's mission. The inventory includes men's, women's and children's clothing; CDs, DVDs, VHS and other media; kitchen utensils and cookware; cutlery and dishware; holiday items; furniture; jewelry; flat-screen TVs; purses and bags; shoes; and toys. The store also carries housewares and books.
Vouchers go to Opportunity House clients. Opportunity House serves all homeless individuals, including parents with families, and every client has a case manager who helps identify the challenges to getting and keeping housing. The page does not say how a voucher is requested, how much it is worth or how often a client can use one.
OppShop is at 3045 5th Street Highway in Muhlenberg Township, Pennsylvania, and is open Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 7 pm. Prices are described only as discounted; the page does not list what individual items cost.
For general questions, Opportunity House can be reached at 610-374-4696. The organization tells people who need shelter during the weekend or after 4 pm Monday through Friday to call 610-374-4696 ext 247.
