I know everyone is looking for an update and while it may not be what you / we were hoping for, it’s positive news for the veterans. Our thrift store will reopen in Punta Gorda which is where My Warriors Place and My Service Dog’s Place is now located. They will start small and open in one of the cottages but eventually find space to rent and open a storefront.
Our Parrish store will be open this week and then we will wind down. Whatever is left will be transported to the new thrift store in Punta Gorda. It would have been nice to find space here in this area for us to reopen but this makes so much sense. The new store will be in the area that the actual organizations are located.
I’ll keep you posted as plans develop and come to life but wanted to share this news. I’m so happy our hard work and efforts will continue on. We couldn’t have done what we did without all of you, every single one of you. Donors, volunteers, customers, referrals etc. Thank you so much. Onto the next chapter - it may be different but it will be so good. 😊
