A local non-profit thrift store is offering a helping hand to area essential workers.

Love It Once More Thrift Store, located on East Route 10 in Clinton, is currently closed due to the ongoing "Shelter At Home" order, however, they still want to help the community.  Owner Koni Lovett says they're offering assistance to essential workers who may not be able to find necessary items.

In addition, Lovett notes they're also still accepting donations of gently used items for the store.  She expects to see an increased demand for thrift goods, both in the store and in assistance requests.

Love It Once More Thrift Store has offered assistance to those in need since it opened four years ago.  Requests for assistance can be made via their Facebook page.
