Built on
Purpose.
Glory Thrift Store is more than a place to shop or donate — it is a movement. A social entrepreneurial project of PACE, rooted in Inglewood and Los Angeles, dedicated to giving youth and young adults a better chance at a better life.
A Second Chance
Changes Everything.
Glory Thrift Store is a social entrepreneurial project of Parent Action Coalition for Education (PACE) — a 501(c)(3), 509(a)(2) public charity committed to mentoring and training youth and young adults in Los Angeles County and the City of Inglewood.
Our mission is the prevention of juvenile delinquency through two powerful pathways: the Journalism Education Enrichment Program (JEEP) — the vehicle that drives youth to careers in journalism — and A Better Chance for a Second Chance at Glory Thrift, providing real employment and entrepreneurial training on West 54th Street.
We believe that when you give a young person the right tools, mentorship, and opportunity, they don't just change their own lives — they transform their families and communities for generations to come.
