Offering support to community members
Joy Thrift ministry supports and fills a need in our community. That is wonderful on it's own. But we have now added the partnership of the thrift shop and the Rental Recovery Program, offering support to community members in recovery, pairing their volunteer work at the thrift shop with short term financial assistance for their recovery house rent.
I find myself at the thrift shop more than I ever intended, more than my job description entails, but fulfilled in knowing the purpose we serve.
