Last night we had the help of some wonderful volunteers from Catalyst Life Services and Ontario High School Lady Warriors Soccer! These groups brought the positive energy and encouraging words to 59 kiddos turning our kiddo’s nervous and tired energy into smiles and laughter! One child even gave us a 5 star rating! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Thank you all for a of your help!

Here’s a little sunshine to brighten up this dreary day! 😃☀️❤️

We are cruising right along with our dressing days and last week it was our friends from Altrusa International of Mansfield, Pleasant Valley Lutheran Church, and Apex Academy who made it all possible! Not only do these groups volunteer their time, but they also do supply drives and adopt kids a Christmas Program!

This annual event makes such an impact in our community, builds strong connections with families and local resources and has been going strong for 30 YEARS! The FOP is such a huge advocate of The New Store we love supporting their hard work in return year after year.

Do you see a trend? When we work TOGETHER as a community to build up our youth and support our families in need , the more EVERYBODY wins! 💙

The FOP William J. Taylor Lodge #32 hosted its 30th annual clothing shopping spree Sunday at Walmart on Possum Run Road.

Don’t forget to stop out to Walmart @ Possum Run to support the Mansfield Police Department and our kids at The New Store!!

Every sock and every shoe shows a local kid that they have an entire community supporting them!! 💙

This gratitude filled Sunday is taking us back to last week, when 1200 backpacks were stuffed with school supplies and distributed to families from Richland County Job & Family Services and Richland County Children’s Services Kinship Program.

This project is the epitome of a community working together to build up, support our neighbors. All of the bags and supplies are sourced and provided by The New Store, Crossroads Church helps stuff the bags and JFS and Children’s Services distributes them to families in need. ❤️💚💙

Last night we kicked off the 2026/2027 school year with an AMAZING group of families and volunteers! We were thrilled to have the Lady Lex Soccer team in to volunteer along side several of our regular superstars and boy did they bring the positivity and good vibes!

They helped 89 kids pick out cool new clothes and provided backpacks to 77 kids, in just 3 hours…and made it look easy! Thanks to our volunteers and best wishes to this sweet bunch of kids and families we had in as they kick off another great school year!

Our volunteers are the heart and soul of The New Store and what makes this place so special! Thank you to our good friends at the United Way of Richland County and Rotary Club for helping us get some much needed summer cleaning done!
