On their opening weekend the Exeter United Methodist Church Garment Gadget
Giveaway Store held a Fashion Show complete with a main street runaway to show
the variety and quality of items available in their shop.
One of the
coordinators, Roma Rhodes, noted the sheer quantity of items that the store
opened with this year. “We have a lot of great stuff, and I mean some
good stuff. I was gone for an hour earlier and it was great to come back and
see the store full of people.”
What is unusual about
the thrift store is that everything is free. Absolutely free, no
questions asked, take what you can use. Last year the church was looking
for some opportunities to serve the community and decided that this giveaway
store in the summer could fill in the gap of the food backpack program that
they coordinate during the school year.
They have added a
small food pantry along with a school supply section this year to help bridge
the gap over the summer and maybe supply some school items for those who need
them. The ladies in the congregation volunteer their time to work a
weekend or whenever they can to keep the store open.
