Thrift Shop 

United Methodist Women’s Thrift Shop

The Thrift Shop at First United Methodist Church of Homosassa mission is to distribute profits to support the UMW’s local, national, and global missions.

Our objective is to acquire by various means donated goods of all kinds and to sell these goods in a general merchandising shop.

The FUMCH’s Thrift Shop is a non-profit resale business operated for the benefit of the United Methodist Women of Homosassa.

The profit is divided among:

• Undesignated Mission Giving – Pledge to Mission , Special Mission Recognition, Gift to Mission , Gift in Memory, and Love Offering.
• Designated Giving
• Administration and Membership Development
• Local Missions – Ecumenical and Community Projects, Local Mission Programs, Vacation Bible School

Historically, FUMCH’s Thrift Shop has helped fund a large part of the UMW’s budget. There is no other fundraiser that begins to generate this kind of revenue.

Indeed, strong support of the Thrift Shop can dramatically reduce the need for other church fundraisers.

We encourage you to continue supporting the Thrift Shop so that the UMW can continue to support Global Ministries and our church.

Our 2007 goal is to increase Thrift Shop Revenue. Being open only one day a week for three summer months this summer made a dent in our revenues. We were able to meet our yearly pledges, but just barely.

Shop At The FUMCH Thrift Shop

The best way to increase our profits is to increase our revenue.

To make more money we must broaden our customer base and bring more paying customers into the door.

You all can help by promoting the Thrift Shop to others and donate high quality goods.

The Thrift Shop makes money by selling donated goods, including housewares, toys, small appliances, books, and lots of other stuff in addition to clothing.

Of course, the “good stuff” brings in the most money. Got treasures? You’re not going to be able to take them with you! Share it! Donate your “good stuff” to the Thrift Shop.

Thanks in advance for your help. If you have any questions, contact the church at 352-628-4083.

We look forward to a great year with your support!

Remember….Shop….Save….Support!
