Impact Thrift: A Journey of Compassion

Our Story: Resilience in the Face of Adversity
Hello, I'm Breanna White, co-founder of Impact Thrift. My journey hasn't been easy - from enduring domestic violence in my youth to facing the trials of homelessness and early motherhood at 18. Yet, amidst these challenges, I found my strength, akin to a flower pushing through concrete. Support groups like Women’s Empowerment guided me towards healing and empowerment.
My co-founder, Marcio, shares a similar tale of resilience. Witnessing his mother’s struggle against abuse while raising him and his brothers, Marcio understands deeply the hardships faced by those in similar situations. This shared understanding makes our cause deeply personal and fuels our dedication.
Impact Thrift: More Than Just a Store
Impact Thrift is not just another thrift store. It's a symbol of second chances, resilience, and hope. Our goal transcends selling vintage treasures; we aim to empower those battling domestic violence, offering them employment and the chance to start their franchises.
Our Vision: Creating Opportunities for Growth and Independence
We're driven not by profit, but by a desire to share success and spread our model, creating opportunities across the United States. A retail location is our first step towards this expansive vision.
