R.A.D.D. Thrift Store is operating at 530 State Street, between Cota and Haley streets, and is accessible from the Downtown City Parking Lot # 11. R.A.D.D. (Rendering Aid to the Disabled and Disadvantaged) has been a local favorite for many years and still follows the principles of being a truly authentic thrift store. It fills many needs in our community, offering a huge array of inventory at low cost and discounted prices and by doing so is keeping these "used before items" from entering the landfill.

R.A.D.D. provides a safe working environment for Work Training Program Inc. (W.T.P. Inc.) clients. Together with W.T.P. Inc., R.A.D.D. employs developmentally disabled adults who gain self-reliance, self-esteem and pride in themselves in their work. Without our W.T.P. Inc. clients, R.A.D.D. would not be R.A.D.D.!

Thanks to the generosity of our community we presently have no need to solicit for donations. R.A.D.D. accepts almost everything: clothing, furniture, tools, toys, books, bric-a-brac, paintings and much more. This enables R.A.D.D. to offer an endless variety of items to disabled adults, students, low-income families, homeless, even collectors and treasure hunters.

Throughout the year, R.A.D.D. helps the student population with their household and scholastic needs. Both student and families alike can utilize R.A.D.D.'s service to dissolve a household if necessary.

R.A.D.D. has recently changed management and ownership and is fully recognized by the State of California as a nonprofit organization; thus, all donations are tax deductible. We look forward to serving the community for years to come. Please call 564-1077 with any questions or for pick-up donations.
