Meet Lakesha!

When you walk into Hope Family Thrift Store, there’s a good chance you’ll be greeted with a smile—and maybe even a hug—from Lakesha, our dedicated Assistant Manager. With a heart for people and a gift for creating a welcoming space, Lakesha embodies what Hope Family Thrift is all about: faith, compassion, and community.
Lakesha first connected with Hope Family Thrift through her mother, who used to shop at our 51st Street location. “I was looking for somewhere to be,” Lakesha shares, “and my mom said, ’I think this would be a good opportunity for you.’” What started as a role at the register quickly turned into a calling. Two years later, Lakesha is a pillar of our team.
