dedication and support.
Hello everyone,
April is here, bringing the arrival of spring. It’s wonderful to see new growth after a long winter. April 1 marks the start of a new year at MCC Thrift on Kent, offering a time for reflection and appreciation for the past year. We closed last year with record sales—$3.3 million! Even with the remodeling of our cash desk and shop, we finished about $400,000 ahead of the previous year. As we sort through the financial details, we know we had record forwardings to MCC. Thrift on Kent continues to grow, and it’s all thanks to your
April

Goodbye Stephen! With great sadness we say goodbye to Stephen, our community outreach associate. We have greatly appreciated his support here in helping with challenging customers. We have also appreciated the kindness that he brings to every conversation. We will miss him, but we wish him well in his new ventures and trust he will be a blessing wherever he goes.
