In the competitive job market, many people experience barriers to employment, including: lack of education, little to no work history, limited access to employment resources, and disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Pathways to Employment
Neighborhood Thrift seeks to use our business as a classroom for life. We currently work with several programs including Fresno City College Federal Work Study and the Fresno County Calworks department to provide on-the-job training to those with barriers to employment. We provide the setting for skills to be worked out and expectations of being an employee to be acknowledged.
Neighborhood Street Cleanup
Launched in January of 2020, Neighborhood Street Cleanup is designed to address barriers to employment faced by low-income people, with a specific interest in serving Fresno’s unhoused and precariously housed populations living in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty, while also addressing waste management issues in Fresno’s Tower District.
A “low barrier to entry” concept is fundamental to this program, in that the only standard for individuals to get and keep a job is regular attendance during their scheduled working hours. There is no other required work experience or prerequisites to obtain the job. In addition to providing a regular paycheck to individuals that have experienced long-term unemployment, NSC also provides individuals with valuable work history and experience to add to their resumes by helping them to develop the soft skills that will allow them to move on to higher paying jobs, and better opportunities with other employers upon program completion.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
