Biannual Funding Program

Due to unexpected and significant replacement expenses like air conditioning and roofing, as well as hurricanes, a slow economy and personnel turnover, we are unable to host our give back for the end of 2024.  HOWEVER, we are working hard to get back up to full speed. We have decided to “roll over” all applications to the first half of 2025, and to NOT accept any new applications for Spring, 2025. We truly want to devote all our attention to those of you who have already applied but now must wait. We are so sorry to deliver this news.

By God’s good grace, we were able to give away $75,000 earlier this year. Unfortunately, due to the above circumstances we will not have the resources to have a Give-Back in December. We can only give away from our net proceeds and only what comes from our amazing community.  OUR thrift store is YOUR thrift store. Help us by spreading the word, making donations, volunteering when possible, and of course, shopping!

If you have questions, or sincere, emergency financial need because of this decision, please call Father Alan of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church directly and confidentially @ (912) 222-8746.

Thank you, and may God Bless your organization. We will get back in touch with you in the Spring, 2025.
