Joining Hands Benefit Shop

Joining Hands Benefit Shop is the fundraising arm of Interfaith Outreach of Carmel (IOC), an organization dedicated to reducing homelessness in Monterey County through the collaborative efforts of faith communities. Since 2007, IOC has united various faith groups to better serve the community through the operations of Joining Hands Benefit Shop. This resale shop offers a variety of items including gently used and new clothing, housewares, furniture, artwork, jewelry, and linens.

Volunteers play a crucial role in the organization, embodying the spirit of giving and enabling IOC to fulfill its mission effectively. In 2023, volunteers raised $135,000, which was then distributed as grants to 12 nonprofit organizations working towards reducing homelessness in the community. The shop welcomes daily arrivals of new items, making each visit an opportunity to discover hidden treasures and contribute to a noble cause.

Joining Hands Benefit Shop's presence in Carmel Rancho Square, conveniently located next to Fremont Bank's front door, provides a place where every purchase supports the initiative to combat homelessness. By shopping at Joining Hands Benefit Shop, patrons not only acquire unique items but also join the collective effort to make a positive impact in the lives of those in need.
