Neighborhood Industries

Neighborhood Industries, the corporate umbrella for Neighborhood Thrift, Neighborhood Recycling and vintage show BLKMKTPLC, is a 501(c)3 that believes in using the workplace to help people cultivate the skills needed to effectively and successfully navigate the modern day workforce and achieve self sufficiency.

Neighborhood Industries, whose service area covers San Joaquin Valley and Central Coast, focuses on employing individuals with the highest barriers to employment, specifically individuals living in Fresno’s neighborhoods with concentrated poverty.

On June 26, 2021, Neighborhood Industries’ warehouse was lost in a fire. A $75k bridge loan from RIIF, paired with a $75k bridge loan from Open Road Alliance, which specializes in quickly providing short-term bridge loans to impact-first companies, allows Neighborhood Industries to continue making payroll to 15 employees directly impacted by the fire as they get their new location up-and-running.
