The Cornerstone Mission Thrift Store has recently been renovated inside and out. Having the staff and volunteers close in the process every step of the way made a big difference in moving the project along. They’re now open and looking forward to sharing the store with the community.
Cornerstone Mission Thrift Store exemplifies the principles of reduce, reuse and recycle, by helping to reduce what ends up in landfills and providing donors with a meaningful opportunity to give back.
The store is made up almost entirely of volunteers. This provides them an opportunity to enjoy an increased sense of purpose and to remain socially active in the community.
Felecia, one of the volunteers working in the donations area, said, “It’s all about good people – helping good people”. Another volunteer said, “It’s not all about selling things! We’re here to help the needy, if you are needy – we give, if you want – we sell.”
Walk in services include: clothing, household goods, shoes, jackets, bedding and hygiene kits. Other items in the store are categorized like a department store and displayed in convenient large rooms.
Cornerstone Mission is a volunteer-driven, organization transforming the lives of men, women and children. The Thrift Store plays a unique part in this by offering economic, and social benefits to customers and volunteers in the community.
Visit the store soon and meet the friendly volunteers, they will help you find just the items you need.
