March 20-24 is a week of celebration for New For You Reuse-It Shop as it marks the successful completion of its first year as a non-profit thrift store.
On Saturday, March 24, to celebrate the anniversary, the shop will offer a complimentary lunch from 11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. There will also be a free drawing for a new Amish-made Hickory Rocker from Foothills Amish Furniture. Everyone is welcome.
New For You operates on behalf of Door of Hope Ministries located in Lynn. Door of Hope has offered one-on-one Biblical counseling since 1999 and holds conferences in the United States and Canada. All proceeds from the store help support the operation of the Hannah Ministry, a place where young women can stay and find healing in a family setting while receiving counseling at Door of Hope.
“The heart of our mission is to reach out to the hurting and broken and help them find the freedom and abundant life through Jesus Christ,” said Door of Hope officials.
The Hannah Ministry came about when counselors and staff of Door of Hope saw a recurring and pressing need for a place of refuge and safety for young ladies receiving counseling. Many of these women come from abusive pasts, broken homes or traumatic situations.
The vision of the Hannah House is “to provide a place of rest and safety for girls/ladies who have been wounded, abused and broken; to provide a place to receive acceptance, mentoring and counsel; and to give hope, restore freedom and impart God’s healing to the gentle hearts of His daughters who have been wounded.” This vision is carried out by offering a physical place of refuge with loving house parents to guide and nurture the women when they are not receiving counseling at the Door of Hope office.
The staff of New For You said as they see the freedom displayed in the lives of the Hannah House ladies, it becomes an honor to serve them by presenting an attractive thrift store to the public.
