Best Bargain Shopping! Alpha Thrift Store has been a dynamic member of the Santa Barbara Community for over thirty years.

This support has had a positive impact on all of us: besides providing financial support for the services offered by Alpha Resource Center, Alpha Thrift Store also serves as a significant recycling agent and an established community employer of people both with and without disabilities.

It takes a village to raise a child and SB Family Care Center, together with the First Five Office of Early Care and Education and the Childcare Planning Council of SB County, serves as the hub that connects families to the wide array of support systems in our community so that every family feels they are supported and active members of our village. Established in 1970 as a mobile parent/child workshop offered at local parks, our non profit agency has grown into a county wide support system with eight programs that serve children, families, and child care providers. Through state wide grants and the help of generous local foundations, we are able to bring all but one of these programs to our community free of charge.
The Lending Library Service is provided in SB and Santa Maria and lends parents and caregivers books and educational toys for children as well as resources for parents and child care providers.

We also have a wide range of educational toys including puzzles, parachutes, musical instruments, and CDs.

Organic Baby and Children's Store Dedicated to Safety and Development.
Summer For Kids was founded with the goal of creating a store that was child health-conscious and environmentally responsible, where parents can be assured that the products they purchase are organic and ecologically safe, and know which products are the most safe and healthy for their children. Summer For Kids' goal is also to provide support to children's charities that can advocate for children and give them a voice. 100% of profits from the store, including my salary, goes directly to children's charities.
We carry everything from natural and organic mattress, natural, organic and educational toys, organic bath and body products, organic clothes, healthy shoes, eco furniture and so much more for great prices!
Our store has a children's play area in the back, filled with educational, creative and safe toys. We believe play is very important for child's development and we encourage healthy play. It also gives kids an opportunity to try out some of our great toys.
