Fort White Thrift Shop continues to benefit the needy
For more than 10 years, the Fort White Community Thrift Shop has served its community well. It has provided a much-needed service for people in need and it is a hub of activity for those who want to give back.
People donate items to the thrift store and they are sold to the public. The proceeds are given to projects that assist the needy in the area.
The center opened in 1997 and has helped hundreds of people since. The thrift shop organization has a board of directors that decides the mission of the proceeds from the shop, but the overall goal is a good, Christian-based ministry.
The bottom line is that the shelter helps people and continues to grow in the Fort White community.
The Community Thrift Shop survives not only on
the donations of merchandise people leave, but also from the support of the volunteers who make up its staff and board of directors. Without these individuals who are willing to give of their time to make the project a success, there would be no ministry.People always make the difference.
This is the case among those who give to the Fort White Community Thrift Shop and those who volunteer their time to keep the operation running smoothly for the benefit of all needy people in Fort White and southern Columbia County.
It's been a worthwhile, positive decade.
