The Shop helps the unsheltered and any of our community members in need. In 2025, The Shop serviced more than 840 people and has continued to grow since!
The impact of this venture alone is estimated at over $213,000 in donated items, volunteer hours, and warehouse space! The Shop is open from 1-4PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You, our community members, may visit and also receive goods from the Shop for FREE!
We need volunteers to support two key areas:
"The Shop" Operations: Help sort incoming donations and assist clients while they shop at our community free store.
Logistics & Delivery: Assist with picking up large donations (like furniture) from donors' homes and delivering them to our clients or to the Shelter (e.g., mattress pick-up and delivery).
The Shop is open at 1PM-4PM every Tuesday and Thursday.
The Journey Home Shop gives donations of furniture, household goods, hygiene products, and more for FREE to people in need.
The Shop is manned by volunteers and runs on donations from our generous community members! We appreciate the help our community members provide and encourage volunteers and donators to help us support unsheltered people in our community.
This project has been funded in part by the West Central Missouri Solid Waste Management District F and other community agencies!
We need volunteers to help us sort donated items and help people find what they need. We also need volunteers with access to a vehicle who can pick up large donation items from our donators' homes and help us deliver said large donations to those in need, such as picking up a mattress and delivering it to our Shelter.
The Shop is open at 1PM-4PM every Tuesday and Thursday, and our volunteers may also receive The Shop goods for FREE.
We rely on donations from our community members to stock the Shop. Our most essential donations are mattresses(Twin-Queen sizes), and Sterno cans to provide portable heating during the Winter and cold nights.
We accept donations of:
household goods such as furniture (beds, dressers, and mattresses)
kitchenware(dishes, pots and pans)
toys
books
hygiene products
bedding
curtains

lamps
We do not accept food or clothing but see our JRHC page to see how you can provide meals to those in need!
