Winner: Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch Thrift Store

Location: Fargo

The Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch Thrift Store has now won back to back Best Thrift Store titles. Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch was founded in 1952 to assist at-risk youth with faith-based education and psychiatric help for those who need it.

Those who shop at the thrift store participate in this through the money they both donate and spend there. That money goes to the ranch program that helps get kids back on track and lead successful lives in the future. According to the Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch site, "Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch is grounded in love for and service to people, stewardship, integrity, honesty, forgiveness, accountability and thankfulness. Our Christ-centered environment is the foundation for quality decisions and actions which reflect compliance with legal, ethical and good stewardship practices."

Congrats to all the top five.
