About this organization
Mission
To build bridges of support, anchored in Christ's love, between families in the Lakes Area and the community assets that can help them thrive and gain hope.
About
Common Goods Charity Thrift Store: Operated two thrift stores to continue mission of supporting children and families. The store utilized volunteers to assist in store operations and processing donations. The goal of Common Goods is to have a major impact on the number of products leaving the area and/or entering landfills. Goods are recycled and redistributed within the community, and as a result, local donations stay local and proceeds from the store help us serve local families in need.
