Catholic Charities of Southwest Kansas recently announced the grand opening of a new Golden Harvest Thrift Store in Garden City from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 14.
The new store, located at 601 N. Main St., will provide Garden City and area residents with an opportunity to shop for affordable clothing, furniture, household goods and unique secondhand finds while supporting the mission of Catholic Charities of Southwest Kansas.
Executive Director Debbie Snapp said the Golden Harvest Thrift Stores are more than places to shop. They are an important part of the ministry of Catholic Charities. Proceeds from store sales help support the agency’s local programs and services, which serve individuals and families across Finney County and the surrounding area.
“We’re excited to bring Golden Harvest to Garden City and become part of this community in a new way,” Snapp said. “We want our store to be a welcoming place where everyone can find affordable items, enjoy a dignified shopping experience and know their support is helping neighbors right here in southwest Kansas.”
Community support will play an important role in the success of the new store.
Thrift Store Regional Manager Lisa Klassen said beyond the donations of quality used items, volunteers will play a large part in the store. Community members are encouraged to consider volunteering their time to help prepare merchandise, organize the store and welcome shoppers.
“Our volunteers are the heart of our store,” Klassen said. “They bring a special kind of energy and joy to the work and to the mission. Without them, we would not be able to serve our local community in all the ways we do. We’re excited to see the Garden City community come alongside us as we get this new store started. Whether through volunteering, donating or shopping, everyone has an opportunity to be part of what we’re building here.”
Through donations, volunteer service and shopping, Garden City residents can help give gently used items a second life while making a difference for neighbors in need.
The community is invited to join Catholic Charities in celebrating the opening on Nov. 14 by exploring the new store and enjoying cookies and refreshments. Follow Golden Harvest Thrift Store – Garden City on Facebook for updates and additional grand opening details.
Following the grand opening, regular store hours will be 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Donations will be accepted from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Catholic Charities serves individuals and families across southwest Kansas through a wide range of programs, including immigration legal services, family support, and financial assistance. The agency is committed to providing compassionate, trustworthy assistance to those in need.
