Frequently Asked Questions

 The mission of People Helping People is providing assistance and comfort, without discrimination or monetary gain, to anyone in their time of distress. 

Donations can be left on the porch facing the 411 side of the building or the porch on the Mull Road side of the building anytime.

If you need help bringing donation in or have a pickup in the local area (30 miles of Benton, TN) come inside to the front counter or contact us.

If I only have one or two items do I pay $20 dollars? No. Now, Let me clear about this if you bring your buggy to the front and you want our cashier to ring up each individual piece (on the busiest day of the month) because “I think” it’s less than $20 you better be sure because whatever the price is when she is finished ringing up your items is the price you pay. We will NOT switch over to Buggy Sale Day pricing after it has been rung up individually and ran over $20 price. Sorry. 

When does it happen? Buggy Sale Day happens the first Friday NIGHT from 6:00-8:00 pm and the second Friday of the month from 10:00-4:00 pm. 

In June and December we have week long Buggy Sale week following Buggy Sale Friday. 

Is the People Helping People Clothing Bank open on Buggy Sale Day? Yes, it is. *You will need identification for the People Helping People Clothing Bank; however for the thrift store you do not. 

What is the location of Buggy Sale? People Helping People184 MULL ROAD
