History
Adelante Thrift has its roots in Mission Adelante, a non-profit committed to serving and empowering immigrants and refugees in the community. Before Adelante Thrift, most of what Mission Adelante was doing was on an individual level and we had a growing desire to serve the community on a larger scale. We wanted to serve more people, help bring more economic self-sustaining life into the community, and generate income for Mission Adelante so we could continue serving individuals with all of our hearts. Adelante Thrift was our answer, but it was a long road ahead. It took almost a year to find the building that would become Adelante Thrift, and as the location at the time was in a nearly abandoned strip mall, we spent several more months rehabilitating and reconstructing the place to make it warm and welcoming. The first year after the opening was a struggle as we found our footing, and we lost money. It was not until three years after our open in 2015 that we started turning a profit.
