HARVEST THRIFT CENTER

Harvest Thrift Center is owned and operated by the parents and constituents of Calvin and Lansing Christian Schools.

The mission of the Harvest Thrift Center is: Harvest Thrift Center is dedicated to raising money for the tuition relief of parents with students in Calvin Christian or Lansing Christian schools. We intend to do this in such a way that we reflect God’s light to our patrons and community.

Raising Money:

• Over $1,000,000 has been raised for tuition relief in less than four years.
• The money raised goes directly to parents for tuition relief. We have given over $1,400 per full time student since September, 2001.
• Harvest Thrift Center has been increasing its total profits each year since it opened – business is good!

Volunteering at the Store:

• If all parents would volunteer a minimum of three hours per month, we could keep our store fully staffed and running smoothly.
• We have jobs for everyone, so don’t be shy. We can work with your schedule.
• Please call our volunteer coordinator, Bekki Van Deursen, at 708-895-2407 (bekkicm298@aol.com) to sign up.
