Rooted in a Vision

Here at Community Aid we strive to meet the needs of our community members in several ways. Providing quality gently used clothing, boosting job growth by supplying jobs at our stores and warehouses and giving back to the community by presenting grants and Community Aid care cards to partnering agencies and churches. 

The vision started in 2009 when Glenn Chandler, the Executive Director, thought how great it would be to start a thrift store that specifically gave a portion of its earnings right back into the community. Glenn also valued the importance of job growth and security in the community and was prepared to offer excellent work conditions, as well as, professional growth and development for future employees. Today, Community Aid employs over one hundred employees and has two locations: Mechanicsburg, PA and Hanover, PA which has become a hub for community members to shop, live and grow. 

Neighbors helping Neighbors is what Community Aid is all about. If you haven't come shop in our stores, you should. It can't get much better than shopping and knowing that your money is helping a neighbor in need. Contributing to the holistic cause of Community Aid is what it is all about....neighbors helping neighbors.
