Thrifty Penny

Epworth UMC's community thrift store

Open Thursdays and Fridays 11:30 to 2:30 and Saturdays 10-4.


The THRIFTY PENNY is one of Epworth's oldest and most important missions. It has provided area residents with a source of very affordable clean clothing, toys, and household items that have been donated by Epworth members and friends. Many members of the congregation have been volunteers at the Thrifty Penny at one time or another. It is truly part of the soul of the church and an outreach to the community.
