The Lockport Resource Center opened its doors at 944 N. State St. in Lockport, on February 14, 2012. The LRC moved to 106 MacGregor Rd. in Lockport, on November 8th, 2022. The concept of the store is simple; a place where a person could come in and purchase goods to outfit their home or their family with “gently” used goods at a very modest price. The store is entirely stocked with items that are donated by the community at large. Proceeds from the store fund the LRC assistance programs. The Lockport Resource Center sponsors a No-Interest Loan Program, Lockport Resource Center Scholarship program, and provides financial support for the Lockport FISH Food Pantry.
The Lockport Resource Center Thrift Store is staffed entirely by volunteers who are lovingly referred to as “ninjas”. This refers directly to their skill at going through donations and constantly arranging a vast array of different objects, quickly and efficiently. Ninjas come from all backgrounds and age groups. The core group is supplemented by local school high school students, brownie, girl and boy scout troops, church groups, and local organizations who want to be a part of the Lockport Resource Center community.
