But while our goals overlap, our focus and the roles we play in the community are different.

Kings Christian Thrift is a nonprofit thrift store that helps support Kings Christian School. Profits from the store benefit the school and help support its programs and operations. That means when you shop for something you need—or something you didn’t know you needed until you spotted it on the shelf—your purchase has an impact beyond the store. It’s a great example of how shopping locally can create a ripple effect throughout our community.

When your family includes paws, feathers, scales—or maybe a little bit of everything—it’s important to have a veterinary team you can trust.

If you've spent any time in Downtown Lemoore, you've probably walked, shopped, dined, or attended an event along D Street or E Street.
