(KUTV) A Utah County thrift store offers much more than used items.
They are reaching out in a whole new way to help the homeless.
Brian Lee knows exactly what it feels like to fall on hard times.
He is a survivor of Hurricane Irma in Florida who lost everything in the storm. He ended up here in Utah.
"Sometimes you have to accept help. That's the hard part," Lee said.
And the place he has turned to for help is a thrift store in Orem called Compassionate Sheep.
The Compassionate Sheep thrift store offers the typical items for sale.
But there is also a complete food pantry and a place to clean up. They will also put washers and dryers in the basement as well as an area for free clothes for people in need.
