The Almost Free Shop is operated by
volunteers from the United Methodist Women
(UMW). All items sold from the shop have
been donated by members of our community
and include: clothing sizes for all ages,
toys, seasonal decorations, household
merchandise and tools. The UMW sort,
organize and display these items for
sale. Most clothing items are sold
for fifty cents or less. The
Almost Free Shop also provides the donated
items free to our brothers and sisters in
need.
