Laura Mae's Resale Shop

CORE VALUES
In addition to generating revenue that supports the operations of Helping Hands Ministry of Belton, Laura Mae’s Resale Shop seeks to serve our community through these core values:

1 - We believe every individual and family deserves the dignity that comes with making their own choices and providing for their own needs. Laura Mae’s Resale Shop gives our neighbors in the South Belton com

munity a place to purchase new and gently used clothes and household necessities at an affordable price.

2 - We believe one of the best ways we can invest our time and resources is by building lasting and supportive relationships with our neighbors that are working toward stability. Laura Mae’s Resale Shop provides employment mentoring opportunities to participants in HHM’s Employment Mentoring Ministry.

3 - We believe that we are called to love one another. Laura Mae’s Resale Shop allows HHM to operate a voucher program that gives families and individuals in the midst of a crisis the chance to choose their own clothes and household items, free of charge. HOW TO DONATE
