During good economic times or not-so-good economic times, the LICS offers needed services to Lexington and parts of Saluda and Calhoun counties. Assisting people with food, clothing and financial hardship, LICS has been operating since 1979. With 53 member churches, this group is always accepting donations at its on-premise thrift shop.
This location is one of four His House thrift shops in the Columbia area. Secondhand clothing, furniture and household goods are sold here. The store is operated by work rehabilitation participants of the Grace Men's Program.
Located on Barr Road, just past the Long's Pond intersection, the Calvary Chapel Thrift Store has the best secondhand deals in town, according to its manager. Opened in 2001 to serve the community and raise money for the U Turn for Christ Ministry, the store offers free pick-up and low-cost delivery for big pieces. Prices for nearly all items are negotiable.
A non-profit Christian organization since 1974, His House works for the benefit of local homeless and alcoholic men. The thrift store also strives to raise funds for missions, both in the community and worldwide. The Lexington area His House, which has been at the Highway 378 location for the past 9 years, sells inexpensive goods such as clothes, books, housewares, artwork, sporting goods, collectibles and furniture. Other than a friendly, down-home experience, you never know what treasures you may find at His House.
The Calvary Chapel Thrift Store is located next to the Tease Me Salon. Part of the Calavary Chapel Church, the store offers lightly used items such as pants, shirts, shorts, shoes for men women and children, bedroom and living furniture and electronics. All proceeds go to the U Turn for Christ program. Donations are accepted daily.
