It operates with over 20 volunteers and a dedicated team, relying on donations from local residents, businesses, and organizations, as well as support from United Way and grants. The current Executive Director, Enne Un, brings deep local ties and a passion for community connection, enhancing outreach through events and strategic leadership. All items are carefully sorted and distributed on a free-will offering basis, ensuring accessibility and respect for recipients.

Located at 1100 E Villard St, the store sits about a quarter mile from 10th Avenue East and is within a short walk of Suncrest Park and the Eastside Complex, both public parks.
