Our Story

Our roots in the Linn County community run deep.

Sharing Hands started out in the early 1980s as a place for parents to exchange clothing and glean crops from local fields. Growing with the need, we became a non-profit corporation in 1982.

The clothing exchange evolved into the Thrift Store, which now serves the general public. It recycles over 5,000 articles of clothing and general household items monthly and offers them for sale at affordable prices.

The gathering of local crops grew into the Food Bank, which today is a part of the Oregon Food Bank distribution network. We provide food to many Linn County families each month to help alleviate food insecurity
