The Well Resource Center
The Well offers individuals a way to find help and hope when facing difficult circumstances by helping meet their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. As an organization, we focus on the total person to help those struggling reach long-term stability in their lives. The Well does this through community partnerships and innovative programs, all while focusing on building relationships and addressing the root cause of the issues at hand.
 
The Well Thrift Store
A multi-department and donation-based retailer, The Well Thrift Store partners with communities to fund The Well’s goal of offering help and hope.
