NLB Industries
Our four NLB industries generate 73% of our revenue, along with intake fees, and
provide vocational training to prepare graduates for re-entry to the work force.
NLB industries also provide a platform for us to bring the message of hope and
regeneration and share it with others beyond the boundaries of our campus.
With two locations, one in
downtown Cumming and a second
store in Woodstock, our NLB Thrift
Stores continue to set the standard
for upscale thrifting. Store patrons
find abundant inventory of
desirable products, great finds,
spacious and beautiful interiors
and outstanding customer service.
None of this would be possible,
however, without our generous
NLB Thrift donors who make this
industry possible!
