Hidden Treasures Thrift Store opened just recently in Fallbrook, CA. I work in a day program for disabled adults which takes them out & about in the local community learning basic work & life skills in order to become more productive in their lives.

     My boss had the idea to open a thrift store run by "the guys" themselves and so far it has been awesome to see how quickly it has filled up with donations. It's pretty nice to see our community helping them gain these skills & supporting in whatever way they can. It is important for people to see how capable disabled persons really are, they are so often underestimated or discriminted against, especially when being considered for employment.  

     I wanted to add this to the site because I was really happy to paint an additional sign on the windows (there is a professional sign on the door, however, the large store windows are mirror-tinted, as you can see, so it has been difficult for people to locate us or to advertise by seeing the store from the street) and, if it hadn't have been for using the paint pens for drivenmessages on my car, my co-workers would have never had the idea to ask me to paint the sign. It was so nice to do something I love for people who are so grateful and were complimentary to me when I had finished.   

     If you are a local San Diegan, or are in the area, please come and visit us. We are very proud to have business that the indiviuals run themselves. We are in Fallbrook on 504 East Alvarado Street, two buildings down from the Fallbrook Art Studios. Thanks for your support!
