But now it also is in the business of giving.

If items don’t sell within a month, Value Village is donating them to local nonprofits.

Retail sales manager Desiree Orrantia said she has worked for the company for nine years, and she’s never been prouder.

“I’m happy the company is going this way,” she said.

Organizations involved in the new Give to Get program include Kloz 4 Kidz, NOAH, WIC, the Veterans Administration Hospital and newcomer Pregnancy Aid. Books are given to local schools.

“We spread it out to different organizations,” Orrantia said.

Pregnancy Aide director Angel Metcalf said the donations are top-notch.

“We don’t even have to wash a thing,” she said, adding they pick up the donations about every three weeks. “Some of it is brand new.”

Pregnancy Aid, which has 400 clients each with one to 12 kids, then gives away the clothes to those in need.

“All our services are free,” Metcalf said, adding within two weeks the donations are gone.

Value Village store manager Randa Weidkamp said the business donates to 15 local groups.

“It’s a win-win,” she said. “We keep it in our community and take care of our community.”

Weidkamp said the store gets 800 items of baby clothes a day, and they don’t always “find the right customer.”

“We have an abundance of items, and we can give back,” she said. “We can help those families that need it.”
