Store #1: Carrabelle
CARRABELLE, FLORIDA · STORE #1
THE $5 PROMISE · EVERY ITEM. EVERY DAY. $5 OR LESS. · GOAL: $25,000
Our first major community project, the We Not Me Farms Ministries community thrift store in Carrabelle, Florida, is OPEN at 1581 Hwy 98 W (rear building), 7 AM to 7 PM every day. We're still stocking the shelves, so come on in, and bring your donations. The store will give donated clothing, furniture, household goods, tools, equipment, and other useful items a second life while providing affordable goods to the community. To keep prices within reach for working families, no item in the store will ever be priced above $5.
Store #1 is the foundation for a $5-or-less network that builds capacity to help after disasters, one community at a time.
Our immediate goal: $25,000 to finish and stock the store
We are raising $25,000 in startup and operating funds to finish and stock Store #1. The funds cover real startup costs: lease and startup, insurance, utilities, fixtures, equipment, merchandise logistics, opening promotion, and a reasonable operating reserve.
What it takes to finish Store #1
The store needs fixtures and clean merchandise so it can fully receive donations and serve customers. If you can donate any of these, or a related item we haven't listed, please let us know.
