FEBRUARY 2026
THRIFT VOLUNTEER NEWSLETTER
Keeping our valued volunteers informed
GM’s Corner February - the month of Love! There is a lot of love in Leamington…look at this beautiful crew! As of our current date: Together, staff and over 140 volunteers processed and sold over 280,897 items to 72,870 Customers so far. We saw our highest Staff Photo: LiTunjia, Ken, Peg, revenue-generating Kyle, Teena, George and Kevin Open House in 2025. These numbers are not possible without you. All of this fruitful work - the wonderful care and attention to helping customers at cash, on the retail floor with carry-outs or simply finding things – shows how much you care. Every donation carried in the back door, every hardware or electrical device tested, every linen folded, every watch battery installed, every price tag put on, every display made beautiful and artfully arranged is evidence of your hard work and devotion.
MCC Thrift on Mill volunteers are awesome and we sincerely thank you. As we go forward in 2026, we seek to enter into more partnerships, amplify peacebuilding, and strengthen our local impact. We will continue to work side-by-side with you for relief, development and peace out of our love for God, family, friends and community! You will see more youth/youth groups, activities like info sessions on what MCC is doing around the world, dress up days, and even a plant sale this year in May. So stay tuned: 2026 looks to be a very fun and prosperous year!
