A New Roof for the Thrift Shop
Donation protected
The Thrift Shop was founded 50 years ago by Church Women United in Carbondale. It moved into its present location at 215 N Illinois in 1991, and the mortgage was paid off two years later. The building is old and in need of a new roof, estimated to cost $30,000. Church Women United is sponsoring fundraising activities to raise money for the Thrift Shop Roof Fund.
All proceeds from the Thrift Shop remain in the community. In addition to selling things, The Thrift Shop gives to nursing home residents, disaster-stricken families, abused women and children. Anyone who walks in and needs a coat is given one free. Over the years it has given away an average of $4000 worth of goods per month to individuals and families through a voucher system administered by area churches and social service agencies.
The Thrift Shop is a great asset to the community, and Church Women United has been pleased to support this institution over the 50 years of its existence. Due to the poor condition of the roof, heavy rains have caused damage inside the building and the need for a replacement roof is urgent. Your donation in any amount will help to keep The Thrift Shop open and continuing to serve the community.
