Faith Outreach Ministries (DBA) Good Times Thrift Good Times Thrift strives to be a benefit to this community.
There was lots of thought and prayer in the decision to stay privately
owned or go non-profit. At this time we have decided to stay privately
owned as it is a lot easier to help people in nee without all the
government restrictions of a non-profit. Because of this we are unable
to give out donation receipts. At a later date we may decide to go
non-profit but there is also a huge cost dollar-wise for that to go
through the federal government and we would rather do something with
that money locally.
Money
from the store is used to pay for all operating costs. We employ a
couple people from the community but also have volunteers who work for
merchandise. At Christmas time we will match the money collected from
the donation jar. If there is someone in the community who has a fire,
they are welcome to come and get things they need for no cost. If there
are some that are struggling with life's problems
financially, they can come in and get what they need at no cost, just
come in and talk to anyone here at the store, tel them the situation and
they will assist you. There are times all somebody wants is to talk and
also be prayed for. At times we have assisted in helping someone find a
place to stay for a short time. When there is profit monies we help
those with special needs. These are a few examples of the things we do
which is all for God's glory and none of our own. We strive to make this
store a blessing to the community, a d to be representatives of
Christ's love for all.
