All the merchandise is donated by the community, and all the money goes back into the community. The two pantries get a check monthly from us. |
Almost from the start, people were asking for furniture, and things were coming in so fast that we needed more space. So, Ernie put up at 40-foot by 50-foot metal building next door. He paid for it himself. We opened that space around Christmas 2005 and since then have filled it, too. |
We started from scratch. Immediately people began dropping things off - and they were nice things. Our goods are gently used. We are not a junkyard or garbage drop. |
We would like to continue to serve the neighborhood and to help poor people, of whom there are many. |
