FRESNO, Calif. -- From a child living on the streets, to a CEO and job creator, Anthony Armour has come a long way.



Now, the California entrepreneur uses his non-profit and thrift store to help others who've been overlooked by society.



Neighborhood Industries is a non-profit organization that also operates a thrift store.



Its goal is to provide job opportunities and workforce training and help people - especially people who may be considered hard to employ.



In 2021, the non-profit invested $1.35 million into employees' paychecks.
