The Vision...A Reality!

In 1994, the New Life Thrift grew out of the successful Food Cupboard Ministry operated by Jennifer Nicholaides of New Life Presbyterian Church in Glenside, PA.  Prior to the purchase of its current location in late 2003, New Life Thrift operated with eight employees while utilizing a retail space of 800 sq.ft. in the basement of New Life Presbyterian Church.  At its current location, New Life Thrift operates in a 6,110 sq.ft. retail space as a satellite ministry of New Life Presbyterian Church.

As faithful and merciful our Lord Jesus Christ is, New Life Thrift continues to grow exponentially to address the needs of the community, region, and the world.  Kindly, refer to our mission and New Life Grants pages for an overview of our purpose and the ministries we continue to support. 

"With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." -Matthew 19:26
