We wanted to create a different kind of thrift store with a premium shopping experience – one where people could count on finding a great variety of quality items in an organized, pleasant atmosphere. Thriftmart is a nonprofit store owned by Joppa. All merchandise has been donated by Joppa Partners to match our meticulous quality standards so that you’ll enjoy quality finds, every time!
We all know thrifting is important for sustainability. Reusing items is not only economical it also helps sustain the environment. Plus, all unsold Thriftmart merchandise goes to good causes—nothing goes to waste.
What's more, every purchase helps someone experiencing homelessness to survive, find housing and rebuild their lives. Our goal is to ultimately help end homelessness in Central Iowa.
Joppa is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to create communities of unconditional love, support and hope for people experiencing homelessness, while working together to prevent and ultimately end homelessness. Learn more at joppa.org.
