Dropping another round this weekend so if you missed the drop earlier this week, we will have some more hygiene kits passed around the Little Free Pantries; Keep an eye out for your neighbors in need! 🫂
And of course, if you find yourself or a neighbor in need, and don't see any in the FLP's, don't hesitate to reach out to us!

Neighbors helping neighbors is what makes our community so great!

It’s officially crunch time, folks, and we need your help!

We are beyond grateful to every neighbor who has helped gather winter coats for community members in need. Your generosity is already making a difference, and we cannot thank you enough! As we get closer to distribution day, we still have a few specific sizes we need help collecting to ensure our neighbors can stay warm this winter.

We have received an abundance of requests for the following sizes, and if you happen to have a coat in any of these sizes that you’re willing to donate, it would be an incredible help in getting a coat into the hands of a neighbor who needs one.
Our most needed sizes:
6-12 months
18-24 months
2T-4T
Youth Medium (8/10)
Youth XL (12/14–14/16)
Adult Large
Adult 1X
Adult 3X
Adult 4X

A little reminder:
Your qualifying coat donation earns you a $10 gift card to shop directly in our thrift shop! It’s our way of saying thank you for helping us care for our community while giving you a little something in return.

Please note:
To qualify, coats must be dropped off by October 27th and be in brand-new or like-new condition, free of rips, holes, stains, or other noticeable wear.

We believe in neighbors helping neighbors, and we are so thankful to have a community that continues to put that belief into action. If you can help, please consider donating or sharing this post so we can reach someone who may have just the size we need! 🤎

As the colder weather makes its way into our community, it’s time to look out for one another.
We’ll be making our rounds to the free little pantries throughout town to stock them with our Community Hygiene Kits, put together to offer a little extra care to our neighbors navigating the colder months ahead. These kits will include hand warmers for those experiencing homelessness or struggling to stay warm as temperatures begin to drop.
Caring for our community extends far beyond our own four walls. It’s about recognizing the needs around us, meeting people where they are, and reminding our neighbors that they haven’t been forgotten. Sometimes, the smallest act of kindness can make the cold feel a little less harsh. 🤎

We love our neighbors, and our hope is that everyone in our community can find a little more warmth & comfort this season.

Now, we want to hear from YOU! 👇

Have you noticed something that could make a difference for our neighbors this winter?

Are there other essentials you’d love to see included in these kits?

Is there a community resource location where you’d like to see us leave them?

Let us know!! 🫂

Don't forget today AND tomorrow ALL kids' items are only $1.00 😱 and we mean ALLLL!!
Pair it with our Mission Possible Monday discount and all kids' items are only .80 cents today!!
Open from 11a-6p today and tomorrow ONLY!

Parents, we know kids’ items are expensive. Somehow, they seem to cost more than just about anything else, all while our little ones grow through sizes and stages faster than we can keep up with! 😩
Battling big box retail prices is hard enough, but walking into a secondhand store hoping to catch a financial break for your family, only to find prices just as high (if not higher) than the retailers you already can’t afford? That’s a whole different kind of frustration that we also feel all too well.
That’s why, this Monday, 10/12 & Tuesday, 10/13, we’re putting ALL kids’ items on sale for just $1.00 each! And we mean ALL of it!
Toys, Clothing, Shoes, Books & EVERYTHING else categorized for kids!
From newborn sizes all the way up to Junior XL, we want to help make it a little easier to keep up with your growing kiddos without stretching your budget any further than necessary.
And because Monday is Mission Possible Monday, you can pair this sale with our storewide 20% discount and get ALL kids’ items for just $0.80 each! 😱
We know most Missoula County Public Schools students have Thursday and Friday off this next week, so why not take advantage of having the kiddos in school earlier in the week and come SCORE SOME DEALS?!
We’re even extending our hours to give everyone a better chance to shop and find what their families need!
So for Monday, October 12 & Tuesday, October 13 ONLY, we will be OPEN from 11:00a-6:00p BOTH DAYS!
We believe our community deserves affordable options, and we’re happy to do our part to make that happen.
As always, thank you for supporting our little shop and helping us continue to serve our neighbors. We love you!! 🤎

Want to help with our Trunk or Treat but can’t make it? We’ve got you covered!!!
We’ve had a few wonderful folks reach out who would love to contribute to our Trunk or Treat but aren’t able to attend, and we wanted to make it easy for anyone else who may be in the same boat to get involved!
We’ve put together a small Amazon wishlist of candy, treats, and fun little trinkets that would make wonderful additions to our event and help us bring a little extra Halloween magic to the kiddos in our community. 👻

👇 Check out our wishlist here:
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2EYEDUXTHZ0PT?ref_=wl_share

Short on time to order from Amazon? No worries at all! Stores like Costco, WinCo, and Walmart often have great deals on candy, snacks, and other spooky goodies, too!
Whether you contribute through our wishlist, drop off a bag of candy, or help spread the word, every little bit makes a difference. We’re so grateful to have a community that continues to show up for one another and help make these special moments possible for our kids. 🧡
Thank you for helping us make this Halloween a little sweeter for our neighbors!
