THREADS UPDATE: We had our latest shopping day at Threads on Tuesday, February 4. Here are our numbers:
The clothing numbers were a little lower than previous months which I had expected; most likely due to illnesses and it being the last month of the quarter. For this winter quarter (December – February) we gave away 2,563 pieces of clothing and 333 accessories.
A special “Thank You” to Olivia (and Ruby!) for making the beautiful Valentine cupcakes and cookies for the families who shopped. They LOVED it! Praise and Glory to God for faithfully providing for this ministry! ~Jill Austin
