GREEN BAY – AbleLight Thrift Shop is set to open at its new location – 2269 True Lane – in September, after closing earlier this month on Military Avenue to prepare for the move.
“We’ve been at [the Military Avenue] location for more than 45 successful years and are grateful to our landlord and the loyal customers who have supported us,” Laura Choronzy, market director of AbleLight Thrift Shop, said. “So many accomplishments have been made here, and we’re excited to continue that legacy in a new space that offers a refreshed shopping environment for customers, donors and staff.”
With the move, Choronzy said shoppers can expect several improvements, including extended hours with Sunday availability and a more convenient donation drop-off area.
She said the store will also be located in a well-established shopping district, making it easier to access and more visible within the community.
One hundred percent of the shop’s proceeds go toward funding services for people with developmental disabilities, including housing and employment support.
Each store also creates job opportunities, with at least 25% of positions reserved for individuals with disabilities.
