In order for us to continue to do this important ministry work in 2026, we need your continued support. There are several ways that you can share your time, talent, and treasure. Please consider joining our volunteer team. Many report experiencing significant purpose and fulfillment while making special connections with other volunteers, shoppers, and the community during time spent as shopkeepers and merchandisers. We can never have enough helping hands and we welcome ALL, regardless of age, gender, experience, or religious affiliation.
Please also consider donating your gently used clothing, jewelry, fiction books, kitchen items, housewares, and small furnishings from smoke-free homes. Please be certain all donations are clean and in good working order. Donations may be dropped inside the shop on Thursdays and Fridays 10-4 or in the garage on Saturdays 10-12.
