When will the new location be open?
We will be opening our thrift store at the new location on Wednesday, August 14 at 9 am. This is a soft opening, as there are always little changes that have to be made when settling into a new store!

Can’t wait to see the new store!
Thank you! We’re excited for it, too!
I am a 70+ single, senior citizen who likes to donate homemade crafts especially at Christmas. I have been crocheting various size beanies for PV’s colder months……does Stepping Stones have a use for these donations? (So far I have made 5….but plan on more!) They aren’t fancy..just pretty, clean and WARM. Please let me know if you would consider needing them. If so, what sizes: i.e. new born, toddler ages 3-5, kids 6-9, teens and adults.
(I also found a simple pattern for various sizes of crocheted slipper (and slipper socks). Would these be appropriate?
Hi Ellen – We have all ages of kids and adults in our programs at any given time. If you would like to donate around the holidays, please call Cori in our administration office – she will be able to speak with you about needs for the families in our programs at that time. Thanks again for thinking of us!
What is “$6 Deals spaces”? Are you renting out spaces?
Hi Barbarann – $6 Deals is a business that is currently operating up at our new location (Where Armadilla Wax Works used to be). That business will be moving into what is currently our Clothing Outlet location, and our clothing outlet will be moving up to our new location. It’s one of the moving pieces in “The Big Switch” this month! Thanks for your question.
I have been shopping at Stepping Stones ever since its first opening …I remember when it was on the frontage Rd. I love Stepping Stones clothing and Red Barn prices compared to Goodwill. I am a very committed and loyal customer and support their cause. I do however have concerns with where it’s new location is ….out of sight out of mind so yes it worries me. I will continue to shop there and tell others of the new location
