Everyone deserves to show up in the world with confidence and dignity. Encore was created to make that possible.

Encore is a Harmony Project free store—where anyone in need can find clothing, household goods, toys, and school supplies at no cost. But this isn’t charity. It’s community. It’s what happens when people give with heart, receive with dignity, and believe that we all belong. Here, secondhand doesn’t mean second-best. Here, generosity gets another round of applause.

Here, everyone gets an encore.

GIVE.

We welcome donations that are new, or gently used and clean, and ready to be shared with individuals and families in need. Please review the list below to ensure your items meet our guidelines. When donating, the mindset is that If you wouldn’t give it to a friend or your loved ones, it’s not right for the Encore store.

BELONG.

Be part of a transformation as we turn an empty, unused space into Harmony Center’s new free store. Roll up your sleeves to paint walls, build and stock shelves, sort donations of clothing and household goods, and help create a dignified, no-cost shopping experience for families, students, returning citizens, and our Harmony Center neighbors.
