Do We Need A Thrift Store in Talent?
Yes. I mean first of all Worthwhile is so much more than a thrift store, but also have you been to Goodwill lately? And three, yes.

The Community Exchange provides free dignity essentials to recipients of the Talent Food Pantry and those living on lower incomes and in transitional living situations. Essentials include clothing, shoes, bedding, and other personal care supplies are distributed at the Pantry on Mondays 4-5 pm
Pantry Initiative provides whatever is necessary to ensure that those who need food assistance in Talent are not underserved in either food or social connection and that the Pantry serves as a stable and beneficial community resource beyond basic food provision.
The Talent Period Dignity Project aims to eliminate period poverty in Talent by making menstrual supplies accessible to anyone who needs them. We strongly believe that everyone deserves the right to manage their period with dignity.
With the types of projects we're planning, we think we'll be able to create something really cool that helps local residents connect and meaningfully improve their lives. But we also hope our programming inspires a strong culture of service, generosity, and reciprocity in Talent.​
Here's a peek into the kinds of things Worthwhile is thinking about:
