More than just a thrift shop, Revolution Resale is a community-driven store with a mission: to support individuals and families affected by substance addiction. Founded by Revolution Church in Plymouth, the store evolved from nearly a decade of church-run rummage sales into a permanent storefront dedicated to helping those in need while promoting sustainability and second chances.

Founding and Mission

Revolution Resale was spearheaded by Nick Ashworth and his wife through their church, with a faith-based vision to serve the community. Their mission is simple but powerful: “to serve families and individuals needing freedom from substance addiction.”

Since its founding, the store has become a beacon of hope in Sheboygan, offering affordable goods, encouraging reuse, and providing critical resources for addiction recovery efforts.

Supporting Addiction Recovery

One of the most impactful aspects of Revolution Resale is its commitment to addiction recovery, with most proceeds directly supporting individuals and families struggling with substance abuse disorders. The store’s impact includes:

  • Funding local recovery programs and services.
  • Operating outreach efforts to assist homeless individuals and those battling addiction.
  • Providing necessities such as hygiene items and other essentials, with donations from organizations like the Sheboygan Police Benevolent Association helping sustain these efforts.

By shopping or donating to Revolution Resale, locals contribute directly to a cause that helps neighbors on their path to sobriety.
