New Miracle Hill Thrift Store Set to Brighten Up Greenville’s Woodruff Road
Excitement is in the air for the folks in Greenville as the new Miracle Hill Thrift Store is gearing up to open its doors on April 26 at 9 a.m. Located at 1818 Woodruff Road, this new addition is more than just a place to snag some great deals—it’s a hub of hope and community support!
What to Expect from the New Location
Miracle Hill Ministries, which has been serving the community since 1937, is set to transform the shopping experience in Greenville. This location will not only function as a thrift store but will also house an office for BridgeWorks, Miracle Hill’s staffing agency, and will provide a space for community engagement. It’s always refreshing when a business goes above and beyond its typical role, and Miracle Hill is doing just that!
The new store is one of two Habitat ReStore locations acquired by Miracle Hill with plans to convert them into thrift stores meant to benefit those in need. The other location on 3303 Wade Hampton Blvd will be undergoing renovations and rebranding in the fall.
Why Donating Matters
For every item sold in the store, there’s a direct impact on Miracle Hill’s mission to aid the homeless. The thrift store will sell a wide array of items—from clothing and furniture to electronics, books, and toys. With proceeds from these sales, Miracle Hill can provide essential services such as counseling and meals for families in need. It’s a wonderful cycle of giving that benefits both the donors and the recipients.
Not only do the donations help fund the mission, but they are also tax-deductible. The community can donate items by either bringing them directly to the store or having them picked up by donation trucks. This means that everyone can play a part in making a difference!
Creating Opportunities
An interesting feature of the thrift store is the fact that many staff members are graduates of Miracle Hill’s recovery programs. This provides them with not just employment opportunities, but also a chance to support others in similar situations. Miracle Hill is dedicated to offering its staff a living wage, which reflects their commitment to improving lives, both on an individual level and for the community as a whole.
The funds raised through the thrift stores do far more than just keep the lights on. They create a point of connection and community, offering hope to those who find themselves in need.
Partnership with Habitat for Humanity
The acquisition of the Habitat ReStore locations aligns strategically with both organizations’ missions. While it allows Miracle Hill to expand its services, it also supports Habitat for Humanity’s focus on advocating for homeownership. The collaboration means that rather than closing the stores, they can continue serving the community through a new lens.
What’s Next?
As the grand opening approaches, excitement builds for the activities planned to celebrate this remarkable addition to Woodruff Road. The new Miracle Hill thrift store promises to be a place not just for shopping, but for sharing and caring, creating a sense of community spirit that can uplift everyone involved.
So mark your calendars and plan to stop by the new store on April 26. Whether you’re on the hunt for bargains or wish to donate items, your participation helps keep the mission alive. Remember, every little bit helps in providing shelter, food, and a touch of miracle to those less fortunate.
In a world where we can often feel disconnected, it’s refreshing to see how a new store like Miracle Hill can enrich the community in Greenville. Come on down and be a part of this inspiring journey that aims to make a difference—one thrifted item at a time!
