I'm in photojournalism this semester and our first project had to be on either sports or current news. If you know me, I'm not to big into sports so I tried my best at finding the most current news. As I was driving to Dunkin Donuts to study for Spanish yesterday I passed by this Homeless Ministry Thrift Store. I had noticed it before but never really thought anything of it until now. It kind of hit me, "Elli, you should go interview them about their business." I hesitated and decided to wait. So today when I got done with my classes I came back to my room to take a nap, but as soon as I laid down I was prompted to go take pictures there. I hesitated again but of course I wasn't going to back down again because I felt God telling me to go. I got in my car with my camera and arrived at the Thrift Store. The owner was very kind! He told me that they opened it in December and people donate anything from clothes to furniture, to toys. Also, he told me that they give the clothes for free away to the homeless children, adults, and veterans. I got really excited about all that they were doing! I have been looking for a homeless ministry to volunteer at and when he told me they fed the homeless as well I knew that's why the Lord had prompted me to come here. :) Isn't God so cool? I think so!

Homeless Ministry Thrift Store
