3rd Friday of Every Month, 9 am to 1 pm
The mission of the Mennonite Central Committee and the Care and Share Shoppes is to improve the quality of life of people who are suffering from poverty, oppression, and natural disaster. We do this by creating a market for reusable items at reasonable prices and by expanding the market for original creations of Third World Craftspeople. Our Ministry happens because of our faith in Jesus Christ and our belief that God’s love is for all people.
The dollars spent at Care and Share Thrift Shoppes impact thousands of lives. Since our beginnings in 1975, we have donated over 13 million dollars to the Mennonite Central Committee.
Just as our shoppes have grown from 8,000 square feet, to over 31,000 square feet in our Souderton location… so has our group of volunteers, donors and shoppers. We are blessed by continued strong relationships with our founding churches, and now are additionally blessed with a large variety of supporters from our local community and from a variety of denominations.
On the third Friday of every month from 9 am to 1 pm, a dedicated group of DPC volunteers helps to run the clothing store. Our responsibilities include:
- providing a minimum of 10-12 volunteers on our scheduled day each month;
- greeting each shopper with a friendly “good morning” and thanking them as they leave;
- operating the cash registers, folding and bagging items;
- and helping customers find their sizes, working the jewelry counter, stocking the racks with clothes from the back stock room, sorting hangers, and monitoring the dressing rooms
Care and Share Shoppes are located at the Souderton Shopping Center (783 Route 113, Souderton, PA).
Please, come join us! It is an amazing experience filled with laughter, warm smiles, and a wonderful opportunity to serve a community in need.
