Just for the Health of it SHOPPING THAT SUPPORTS THE COMMUNITY “Known for reinventing resale by blending and curating new items with thrift ones, Revivals has gained a reputation for discoverability and affordability,” says Steven Henke, Director of Brand Marketing for DAP Health. Revivals stores are part of DAP Health. Both the retail outlets and health center have strong roots in the community. Revivals donates all its profits to DAP Health — more than $1,000,000 annually — so people who need health care can get it.
“Revivals was early to innovate and remains the only thrift store in America with its own brand of affordable new furniture,” Revivals donates all says Dane Koch, Director of its profits to DAP Health Retail for DAP Health. “We buy a different assortment for each store location to reflect the communities we serve.”
Revivals, like DAP Health, was born out of the need to support people living with HIV/AIDS. Its first store was a small space in the back of what was then Desert AIDS Project when it was located on Vella Road in Palm Springs. For 26 years, Revivals has kept pace with DAP 10
Health’s growth. As the health care organization opened its doors wider to welcome more of our neighbors into care, Revivals opened more locations to help fund the work.
About 70 percent of the merchandise at Revivals stores is resale, and 30 percent is new. The chain’s broad community of donors provides a steady supply of resale merchandise. Revivals also features the Mode Furniture brand of new furniture, lighting, and home decor.
