Alpha Thrift Stores are owned & operated by Alpha Resource Center of
Santa Barbara.  A local non-profit serving the developmentally
disabled & their families here on the south coast.

While there are better paying jobs available in town, this work really has
a positive impact on the community.  We generate vital funds for our
organization, provide access to affordable and unique products to a
large and diverse customer base & have an extremely positive impact
in reducing our community's carbon foot print through reuse and
recycling.  And you can work from the comfort of your own home!

Monthly tours are also available at our Thrift Store located at 5624 Hollister Avenue and at our Alpha Resource Center located at 4501 Cathedral Oaks Road.  Come visit us.
