BARGAIN BOX OF WILMINGTON works with any non-profit agency requesting assistance, whether it is a church (Catholic Social Ministry), a government agency (Dept of Social Services), or a Federally Funded program (First in Families) for example. We have collaborated with 86 different organizations in the last 10 years.

GOOD SHEPHERD CENTER receives half of our annual profit proceeds for their ongoing ministry. Katrina Knight, Executive Director of Good Shepherd Center, says, Bargain Box has been a vital resource for Good Shepherd for the past ten years, both in the annual financial support given by Bargain Box and also in their ongoing support of Good Shepherd clients through Bargain Bucks and other programs. To date we have given $44,000 to this ministry for the homeless.

BARGAIN BUCKS are available to churches or organizations that request help for their clients. Bargain Bucks look similar to a $10 bill and spend like $10. This makes the transaction a more pleasant experience with more dignity for all concerned. Clients from 22 agencies have used over $24,000 worth of Bargain Buck vouchers.

The GIFT BARGAIN BUCKS program is a way by which the community can provide a quality shopping experience for those who might not have adequate monetary resources to meet their needs. Recipients can shop with the Bargain Bucks during regular store hours and they may pick out items of their choice. They are available to purchase either for a specific person or family or to leave at the Bargain Box Store for the staff to use as needed.

THE EPISCOPAL FARMWORKERS MINISTRY in Newton Grove receives many items regularly from us that help their migrant workers. To date we sent more than 18 tons of clothing and 575 boxes of house wares.

THE SALVATION ARMY receives clothing that isn't usable for our projects which they can bale and send to third world countries. Approximately 37 tons have been donated.

GRANTS may be applied for by non-profit organizations. Following reading, reviewing,and approval of the grant applications, we have given grants to more than 22 charitable agencies, totaling more than $37,000.

We provide hope and help for our community by collaborating with agencies such as:
