All year long, Rye Presbyterian Church volunteers sort through donated furniture, home goods, toys, and more and magically arrange them for sale in the lower level of the church, which serves as the Thrift Shop. Every Thursday during the school year, young moms, grandmothers, teachers, and a host of others flock there in search of a bargain.

What’s even better is that all those sales are tallied up in June and grants are given out to organizations that serve: the homeless, at-risk youth, families with a child who has been diagnosed with cancer, new immigrant families, and people with disabilities and special needs. Some of the $51,500 raised at the Thrift Shop since last fall was given to help purchase supplies for a High School Mission Trip to New Orleans to continue the repair of homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina ten years ago; some will go to provide summer camp scholarships. All will go to support important missions.

Representatives of the 25 organizations that received grants enjoyed a celebratory lunch June 15 at the church with volunteers and co-pastors Rev. John Miller and Rev. Dan Love.  

It took a thrift shop.
