Meet eBay Entrepreneurs 

In September 2003, Laurie Wong opened a small, nonprofit thrift store that served not only as a self-sustaining business, but also as a resource center in the local community, providing free items for those in crisis. When sales began to lag in 2005, Laurie knew she needed to look elsewhere to bring in more revenue, so her friend helped her set up an account on eBay. Laurie quickly became a power seller with an anchor store, and in 2012 Laurie was able to add a food pantry as an additional community service. Laurie's nonprofit continues to provide clothing, shoes, accessories, and food to those community members in need.
