New shop opens to support programs, build community

In June 2023, First Congregational Church opened Thrifts and Gifts, a shop featuring donated clothing and some household items, as well as a series of handmade products from people in the congregation and friends and relatives. It is open Friday and Saturday from 10 am - 3 pm. 

“I think it’s amazing,” said Rev. Thandiwe Dale-Ferguson, pastor of the church, adding, “It’s not just about raising money, it is about building relationships and community!”

We are open on Friday and Saturday from 10 am - 3 pm.

Get ready for Father's Day

The weekend of May 30 & 31st we’ll be discounting all men's gift items and men’s clothing 50%. Come in and do your Father’s Day shopping!

Although we are closing for the months of July and August, we are still accepting donations for the time-being.  They can be dropped off during Thrifts and Gifts store hours between 10 and 3 on Fridays and Saturdays, in addition to Thursday mornings 9 – 11 when we are setting up the store. We will have a Pet event on June 6 and 7, so bring in those bowls, leashes, toys, crates, etc.

Thank you! We couldn’t do it without your donations. As a reminder, all funds generated by Thrifts and Gifts go directly to the church’s operating budget in support of all the good work being done.
