About the Helpful Shop
St. John's Helpful Shop was begun in 1953 by the women of the church to raise money for a new church carpet. As the church grew and no longer needed the income from the shop, it became a vital part of St. John’s outreach program. All net proceeds are given back to the community in the form of grants to local non-profits. Faithful volunteers from the church and the community receive and resell “clean, gently used items,” in good condition, donated by parishioners and community members. Volunteers are enthusiastic about the benefits they receive from their time at the shop. Besides providing quality clothing and small household items at an affordable price, the volunteers provide smiles and listening ears for the many who drop in to visit and “pass the time of day.” How You Can Help:
