We have been seeking a way of establishing this sort of ministry to assist the finances at our Glenelg Centre. When we first started casting the vision for this part of our Corps, we knew that finances could hinder the new ministries and we thought about a shop up around Novar Gardens.
Just two weeks ago we found a vacant shop in Ascot Park. It has been a second hand clothes shop for the last 15 years, and before that it was a Salvation Army Family Store! The rent is good, it's air conditioned, has a small sorting area, and is on a main road with parking at the rear. We have approval from Salvos Stores to go ahead and are now at the stages of looking into a lease.
This project will obviously require some man power but will provide vital funds for any new ministries that we would like to commence, especially down by the Bay. It will hopefully also sure up our funding for things like our Corps bus.
If you want a drive by look, the address is 685 Marion Road, Ascot Park. You can't miss it. It's a green building on the corner of 6th Avenue.
