Over the last four months we have slowly been downsizing everything we own to a few suitcases, some storage tubs, and a couple pieces of furniture. That’s meant donating a lot of our belongings to thrift stores.
Today I took a load of our belongings to the Care & Share Thrift Shoppes in Souderton Pennsylvania to donate. Care & Share is an independent nonprofit that uses it’s earnings to support Mennonite Central Committee.
Perhaps the easiest way for you to support our work with Mennonite Central Committee in Cambodia & Myanmar is to shop at and donate to Care & Share. Care & Share is also a wonderful place to volunteer and includes a Ten Thousand Villages shop that often hosts IVEPers. Almost every time I visit Care & Share I run into a volunteer from Peaceful Living or Plains Mennonite Church.
What if you’re not in the Souderton area? Well, Care & Share is a member of the Mennonite Central Committee Thrift Shop Network which includes stores throughout the United States and Canada. Click here to find a MCC supporting Thrift Shop near you!
Thanks, Charles and Crystal. Yes, we do support you, MCC and Care and Share in various ways. Best to you on this journey. Mary and Hubert
I also use the Care and Share Thrift Shop as a valuable resource. When I lived in the East Bay San Francisco and Raleigh, NC areas, I really missed having the MCC SHOPS In my community. They are friendly, clean, and well-organized places to donate and buy merchandise. The volunteers are deeply committed to the mission and outreach.
