MAKE A LOCAL IMPACT
Shop or
Donate
When you shop at our thrift store or donate your gently used goods, you're directly supporting families right here in our community.
CONTAINER MINISTRY
Your donation of gently used goods helps us send life-changing aid—and Christ’s love—to communities in need both at home and abroad.
OUR GLOBAL WORK
Did you know that every Thursday, you could change the world? All our Thursday sales support global projects that alleviate poverty and bring hope—providing resources and care to at-risk children and families in need.
We are a Christ-centred ministry rooted in compassion and faith
Our mission is to care for the needy through practical assistance and spiritual support, reaching out to individuals and communities in need with tangible acts of kindness and service. Whether it's providing essential items to local families or supporting international initiatives, we are committed to making a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve.
We serve both locally and globally, guided by Jesus’ words in Matthew 25:40:
“Whatever you did for one of the least of these... you did for me.”
Local Impact
In our community, we operate a thrift store and warehouse that receive donations of clothing, medical supplies, furniture, and more. These items are sorted and packaged for distribution to those in need. We collaborate with social services and other community agencies to provide essential items like beds, clothing, and household goods to individuals and families in Chatham-Kent. Our dedicated team of over 95 volunteers ensures that all operations are carried out with love and care.
Global Impact
Through our global mission partners, we engage in:
Building the Church
We support church planting, training, and discipleship initiatives in countries such as Ukraine, Zambia, Honduras, Nicaragua, Liberia, Uganda, and in regions where churches operate under sensitive conditions. We also assist churches in meeting practical needs in their communities.
Empowering Women and Supporting Children at Risk
Providing educational opportunities, vocational training, and safe environments for women and children, aiming to break cycles of poverty and vulnerability. We also facilitate access to life-saving medical care, including surgeries, for children in need.
Emergency Relief and Container Ministry
We respond to crises and support under-resourced communities by sending containers filled with essential aid and deploying teams to provide on-the-ground support. We work alongside local partners to offer practical assistance and demonstrate God's love through action.
