Here in Bangor our store, Angel's Attic offers employment trainings to Adults with Disabilities. Each day several clients will come to our store and work with a job coach to learn basic retail skills such as merchandising, how to operate a cash register, and how to work with public.
Our programs are funded by donations and sales from the thrift store. We utilize donations to the thrift store in two ways; first, if we have clients in need they always come first and we re-gift the items immediately. Once we determine the item isn't needed by a client we will sell it and use the proceeds to benefit the programs.
