The 10-year-old nonprofit will create more than 40 jobs when its Feasterville store opens in April.
Impact Thrift will open its first Bucks County location in Feasterville's Bucks Crossing shopping center this spring. The idea for Impact Thrift - which started out in Hatboro more than 10 years ago - was inspired by co-founder Paul Baur's lifelong commitment as a Christian: to help serve others. Impact is a nonprofit that has an entire purpose of supporting others, Baur explained. "Everything gets sold," he said. "It's all gotta go to charity." Baur said that the nonprofit looks to create win-win scenarios by relying on the community to bring donations and looking for them to come and shop so that Impact Thrift can use its profits to support charities.

Communities throughout Bucks and Montgomery counties continue to see an increase in the number of families who need assistance in accessing food. The number of people aided by the Doylestown Food Pantry on Old Dublin Pike has risen to as many as 1,200-plus individuals in one month. “The need has grown tremendously,” said volunteer coordinator Kate Bianchini during an interview about helping families for Thanksgiving. “There is hunger in our community, in Central Bucks…

Holy Redeemer Thrift Store raised $1,400 during an auction of donated goods Tuesday evening.
Louis Vuitton sandals. Fur coats. Vintage mink. Sparkling jewelry. Just a few of the more than 100 items auctioned off Tuesday evening at Holy Redeemer Thrift Store on County Line Road. In all, sale of the higher-valued goods brought in $1,400 to help Holy Redeemer “end our fiscal year with a bang,” according to thrift store Manager Linda Mayo. “We’re trying to get as much cash in the coffers as we can,” Mayo said, adding that prior to the auction – and just two days before the fiscal year ends on June 30 – the store was about $10,000 shy of reaching its $180,000 fundraising goal. “We were just looking for a last push.” Since the store opened five years ago, Mayo said sales have continued to increase.
