Dear future Game-changer,

Have you ever wondered what happens when you drop off a bag of donations at a thrift store? Like peeling an onion, every layer uncovers a new, impactful outcome. Today, I invite you to step behind the scenes of the Gospel Mission Thrift Store, where your contributions transform lives, conserve the environment, and write tales of resurrection.

Daisy is no stranger to donations, helping sort, label, and display the various items that grace the shelves. Her role as a volunteer at the Gospel Mission Thrift Store has opened her eyes to the tangible kindness that exists in our society. Yet Daisy realized there’s always more than meets the eye in this quaint thrift store.

The first layer is visible – providing people in need with affordable, quality goods, from essential clothing items to cherished toys for a child’s birthday. But, as Daisy learned, the impact only deepens from there.

• The Social Impact: Learn how the thrift store provides employment opportunities to those struggling to enter the job market.
• The Economic Layer: Discover how funds raised from your donations support vital, life-changing community programs and services.
• Environmental Footprint: Grasp how a single donated item can keep thousands of pounds of usable goods out of landfills.
• The Cultural Connection: Hear tales of how items donated from various cultures foster a rich tapestry of diversity and inclusion.

And then, there’s the most personal layer, Daisy’s enrichment. As she locks the doors every afternoon, she carries home the satisfaction of impacting many lives and contributing significantly towards our planet’s welfare.

Isn’t it fascinating how something as simple as a thrift store can weave threads of significant social, economic, and environmental impact?

By venturing into the heart of the Gospel Mission Thrift Store, you are not just providing affordable goods or protecting the environment. You join a lofty mission that impacts lives, fosters resilience, and creates tales of hope and renewal in the face of adversity.

Won’t you tie up your boots and start peeling the layers with us?

Our thrift store and clothing/household goods bank are open from 10 am - 3 pm Monday through Friday.
