Donate Clothing and Other Goods to
CommunityAid Thrift Store (Partner #50283)
The New Beginnings Mission House Committee is excited to announce our new partnership with Community Aid Thrift Store! Community Aid gives back to local non-profit organizations based on the weight of donated clothing and shoes. These items are then resold in their seven stores across Pennsylvania.
How to Help
Clothing & Shoes: Drop off your bagged, gently used clothing and shoes (no other items) into the bin near the scout cabin.
​
Household Items & Furniture: ​Take these bulkier items to the donation center at the rear of the Community Aid Thrift Store. The store is in the strip mall next to Walmart on Fifth Street Highway, Temple where staff will help you.
At the donation center, mention St. Paul’s Partner Number 50283 to credit the Mission House. For your convenience, laminated cards are in the narthex with the number.
Thrift store donation hours: 9 am-6 pm Mon-Sat. No appointment needed.
Thank you for your support in helping make a difference in our community!

If you enjoy the mystery/thriller/suspense type of books, you will find this story fits that genre. In the windswept British seaside town of Ridinghouse Bay, single mom Alice Lake finds a man sitting on a beach outside her house. He has no name, no jacket, and no idea how he got there. Against her better judgment, she invites him inside.
Meanwhile, in a suburb of London, newlywed Lily Montrose grows anxious when her husband fails to return home from work one night. Soon, she receives even worse news: according to the police, the man she married never even existed.
​​
All are welcome to participate. The glass doors at the Green Street entrance will be open for your convenience.
