In this episode of CrossTalk at the Kroc, Jonathan Raymer sits down with Jamie Whiten to pull back the curtain on one of the Salvation Army’s most overlooked ministries: the Family Stores. They unpack why thrift stores aren’t just about finding a deal—they’re a full-circle mission that turns community donations into affordable shopping, reduces waste, and fuels life-changing local services like homelessness support, Angel Tree, disaster relief, and utility assistance. Jamie shares fun history (yes—the Salvation Army was basically America’s first thrift store), plus the behind-the-scenes work of stewarding donations well, keeping stores fresh, and building a “third space” where ministry happens in everyday conversations. If you’ve ever wondered how a simple donation can become real hope in your city, this episode connects the dots in the best way.
