About Us
Meeting basic human needs in the name of Christ.
Our Story
In 1975, a group of individuals with a global vision began a small thrift store to assist the local community and generate funds to support Mennonite Central Committee. Although we just occupied a small storefront on a side street in Millersburg, Ohio, we soon grew and needed more space. In 2006, Save & Serve moved to our current location on South Washington Street. Our team consists of a staff, a board, and hundreds of volunteers who are the backbone of our service. Over the years, we’ve grown tremendously, but our goal remains the same: to meet basic human needs in the name of Christ.

Our Local Involvement
We embrace our responsibility to support and improve our local community. Save & Serve helps fund community initiatives as a way to give back to the community. Recent examples include: Mt.
