Our two thrift shops are an important part of our ministry – the Germantown Thrift Shop located in the Germantown section of Philadelphia and our Lighthouse Thrift Shop located in the Lawndale section of Philadelphia. In addition to raising much needed funds for our ministry to homeless men, our two thrift shops also provide real life workforce development training for the 55 homeless men enrolled in our New Life Rehabilitation and Job Readiness Program.
One of our goals is to help men get back into the workforce. The sad reality is that many of our men would get fired from their jobs apart from the hands-on training we provide through our two thrift shops. By working in our thrift shops, men acquire important job readiness skills such as the ability to follow instructions, being on time, working with others, relating appropriately to the public, working under supervision, developing a solid work ethic and pursuing excellence.
When men in the New Life Program step out into the workforce, they tell us that the workforce development skills they learned at the Mission equipped them do a good job that often grabs the positive attention of their boss.
We also use our two thrift shops as a ministry in and of themselves. We give away free produce and bread when we have an abundance, and all of our merchandise is affordably priced to bless individuals and families in our community.
We need your help to keep our thrift shops going strong as an important part of our ministry.
