JHM Bargain Centers ➡ King's Home Thrift

King's Home president Lew Burdette (center) and Mission executive director Tony Cooper (right) talk about the transfer outside of the Eastwood location Friday morning.

The Mission Possible Bargain Centers of the Jimmie Hale Mission officially became King’s Home Thrift Better Stores Friday morning. The two Birmingham-based charities teamed up to better serve the homeless and hurting populations they serve.

“We opened our first Mission Possible Bargain Center in May of 2000,” said Mission executive director Tony Cooper. “For nearly 19 years they have been part of our ministries and have served us well. Now we are excited to transfer management to King’s Home ministries. We are looking forward to seeing how God is going to use these thrift stores to bless King’s Home and benefit thrift store shoppers.”

Tony Cooper discusses how the acquisition is mutually beneficial.

Until last year, Kings’ Home benefited from a partnership with America’s Thrift Store. That contract ended around the same time the Mission began exploring a change in its enterprise division and the two non-profits began talks about how this turn of events could become something mutually beneficial.

The Mission will continue to need and accept in-kind donations such as clothes, toiletries, paper products, toys, food, and other items. These contributions can be dropped off at the Shepura Men’s Center or Jessie’s Place for women and children in town. Larger items, like furniture, can be donated to The Better Stores.

Lew Burdette talks about how the venture into thrift stores will benefit those it serves.

“This opportunity came about at a time when King’s Home was prayerfully seeking wisdom on the next steps for the Better Bin collection effort,” said president Lew Burdette. “Both ministries are in awe of how the Lord has written this story.”

The acquisition included all three Bargain Center facilities located in Eastwood, Pinson, and Hanceville. Shoppers and those simply dropping off donations will experience a seamless transition and will be welcomed by the same friendly staff they’ve always encountered. King’s Home will also continue the Corners of Your Field initiative, a benevolence program based on Leviticus 19:9-10.

February 1,2019 Through The Twelve Steps With Spiritual Truth From Scripture TODAY STEP 12

STEP 12. Having had a spiritual experience as the result of these steps and Gods abundant Grace, we try to carry this message to others and practice these principles in all our affairs.

Psalm 105 1- Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness.
Let the whole world know what he has done.

Share your story ! Sobriety is a gift from God , meant to be shared so others can be saved ! Let not your pain and suffering be in vain. Your Trial was designed to not only help you develop character but lead you back to God our father and maker. Never forget where it was you escaped from ! Most keep this precious gift to themselves. People just want to put it in their past and forget it ever happened but most found the gift because someone fearlessly shared there story offered a hand ,advice, and prayer. If your sober then it is your turn to share your story and save a life.

Philippians 2:4 “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
