On Tuesday, Jan. 26th, he Lamar County Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting for the New Hope Center of Paris Thrift Store.
Located at 400 SW 4th Street in Paris, store hours will be from 9am-5pm Thurs.-Sat. starting Thursday, Jan. 28th.
Donations will be accepted of gently used clothing, small appliances, and bric-a-brac (what-nots). Men’s, women’s, children’s, infant’s clothing, small appliances, what-nots, toys…no furniture.
Gay Bellew, Director of New Hope, said, “Since we have a small sorting and storage area, what we can’t use or store will be given to partner non-profits, Christians in Action and Salvation because both are also non-profit. I want to emphasis that the store is non-profit. All proceeds will go directly back into New Hope to support and fund our program, needed supplies, transportation for residents, emergency shelter and anything necessary to keep our home open and assist our guests and residents.”
