IF YOU'VE SHOPPED AT A THRIFT STORE YOU'RE HELPING THE MISSION

Maybe you've been shopping at one of the thrift stores owned by the mission this year. The store Summit Thrift is very popular opening in 2021 at 56th and Summitview. The original Lighthouse Thrift Store on South Front Street and the Lincoln Mission Thrift store located on Lincoln Avenue are also open. A new store is planned on North First Street as well.

THE STORES FUND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS SO YOUR DONATIONS GO FARTHER

Johnson says the stores generate enough money to fully fund all administrative costs at the mission meaning no salaries or other costs come from donated dollars. So when you donate all your dollars go to help those needing help at the mission.

YOU CAN HELP TODAY

You can donate at yugm.org or you can drop off your donation or non-perishable food at the mission located at 1300 North first Street.
