OUR MISSION is to treat people with dignity and compassion as we feed families in need and OUR DREAM is to ensure that no person in the Ripon Area goes without basic needs to survive on a daily basis.

We want to show our love for Jesus in a very practical way, by doing all that we can to meet the basic and real needs of those in our community.  Traded Treasures Thrift Store Staff and volunteers collaborate with community partners, local businesses and community organizations to meet the needs of struggling families. We collect gently used clothing, accessories, household décor & furnishings and children’s items to be sold in our Thrift Boutique. Income generated from the sale of gently used items cover the operating budget and expenses of the Thrift Store and the Community Food Pantry. Our dream is to ensure that no one in the Ripon area goes without food or clothing.  We want this to be a ministry that shines God’s light and hope into our community!

Traded Treasures & Community Food Pantry became its own 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization on November 1, 2013.  Our mission and passion remains to feed the hungry and help those in need.  We have been under the same management since August 1, 2006.

Every dollar we collect (from cash donations and store sales) provides the food for our Food Pantry to serve those in need.  Our Food Pantry customers include mothers and children who are victims of domestic abuse, families struggling to put food on the table and clothes on their children, and senior citizens on a fixed income trying to make their dollars stretch every month.  Since August 1, 2006, the Food Pantry has provided groceries every month to anywhere from 100 to 200 households a month, and often more around the holidays.

In addition, we provide:

• Food, clothing, furniture, and household supplies at no charge to victims of floods, home fires and others as well on an emergency basis.  No one in need is turned away.
• Back-to-School backpacks full of school supplies for children of food pantry customers.
• Community service opportunities to local school students and organizations for credit as well as to county courts who refer individuals to our organization to satisfy community service requirements.

We employ one full-time and three part-time employees and keep roughly 55 volunteers busy receiving and sorting donations, serving customers, and performing other duties as needed.
