On Thursdays, I volunteer at a mission store in the area called Love In the Name of Christ. People drop off gently used items they no longer have a need for.
It amazes me what nice items are brought in (and some not so nice).
We also get new items from stores in the area that are sold for a much lower price
than if they were bought elsewhere. Anyone may purchase merchandise from this place
and the money brought in goes out to the community to help those in need.
I meet really neat people and I have a good time doing something worthwhile .
The best part is you never know what treasures one will find at a very reasonable price.
Today I found a cute ceramic tea pot for my shelf in the kitchen.
Makes me wonder what I'll find next week...........

That's one of the nice benefits you get for giving your time!
Connie,
I'm glad that you volunteer at the mission. Your teapot sounds delightful and as Mari says, it is one of the benefits for your time.
I enjoy shopping at our local church thrift shop. There are certainly deals to be had.
Welcome to blogland.
Blessings,
Mary

Hi Patty's mom! I agree with Kim, now maybe Patty will start a blog.
Welcome aboard!

Me again. I was just telling my girls today that we should stop by Love Inc and see if they have any push toys. I watch my 13mo old niece and she loves to push things but we don't have any toys like that at our house. Maybe we will see you soon.
Smiles!
Welcome, I'm sure you'll love being in blogland. It gets easier once you get the hang of it. Have a great day. Kae
There are a lot of treasures hidden in those "gently used items" stores! I love shopping at them for that very reason.
WELCOME to BLOGTOWN!!!
Come by and visit sometime if you like...sya

Welcome to Bloggyville! You will definitely meet a lot of great people. So many have been an encouragement and blessing to me, and I know they will be to you also!
My hubby is going to build me a shelf in the kitchen for my teacup sets and teapots. I can hardly wait to unpack them so I can enjoy looking at them :-)
Hi. I popped over from Mari's. I think volunteering is a wonderful thing. I am trying to get my mom to do something like this.
Nice to meet you
