Welcome
In 1960, 21 Dayton area women joined forces to raise funds to support the Glenmary Sisters' Mission -- to help people become self-supportive and to break the reins of poverty.
Today, over 65 years later, the Corner Cupboard Thrift Shop's staff of dedicated volunteers continue to embrace their vision and mission.
All income, after utilities and normal overhead expenses, is distributed to our 40+ Partners in Caring who provide hands-on care to the hungry, the ill, the homeless, the poor and the troubled of our community.
To date, over 4 million dollars has been donated by the Corner Cupboard to make a difference in the lives of the people in our community.
