The Delaware Nation at Moraviantown has a rich and ancient history. Our original homeland is found along the Eastern Seaboard of North America, specifically, areas known today as New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio. The Delaware, or Lunaapeew, as we call ourselves, are revered by other Indigenous Nations as 'the Grandfather Tribe. We established settlements up and down the Delaware and Hudson Rivers, where we farmed, hunted, fished and gathered for food, as well as traded with other Nations. At one time, our population is estimated to be in excess of 65,000.
By operating successful Thrift Stores and integrating with the mission and work of The Salvation Army as a whole, we exist to be a functioning and thriving modern day model of William Booth's conceived "Household Salvage Brigade" through which the marginalized and excluded of society will be refreshed and regenerated by way of meeting their practical needs. Our Thrift Stores can meet your needs.
