Mission Centers of Houston Deepens its Community Impact in a New Way
Mission Centers of Houston’s Compassion Center officially opened its new community store: Fletcher Finds!
With a fun day of games, food, and “shopping with a cause,” Fletcher Finds celebrated its Grand Opening. Families came from around the community to join in the fun and see what the celebration was all about.
Fletcher Finds offers employment opportunities and affordable essential goods to our Near Northside community.
Fletcher Finds is officially open to the community and serving as a discounted bin store, where customers can search through tables of categorized goods and fill their bags (purchased through donation) to the brim with things that catch their eye!
Not only was the day of the grand opening a huge success, but the store has seen an incredible amount of traffic already and is serving the community in multiple ways.
Fletcher Finds has quickly found favor among community members all around by offering affordable, necessary goods of all kinds to our Near Northside community and empowering individuals through employment opportunities and donation engagement.
How it works
Fletcher Finds shoppers purchase either a small or large bag through a donation to Mission Centers of Houston and are provided ample time to browse two large rooms outfitted with tables full of products, with which they will get to fill their bags up to their hearts’ content.
This shopping experience is a fantastic ministry to serve the people in our neighborhood, empowering them as they donate and shop.
Further fostering that sense of empowerment within our community members, the store also currently employs seven individuals from within our community.
Offering them a job and a learning experience is transformational in the development of their sense of confidence and their future career prospects. The Compassion Center hopes to further develop this employment program to be a robust pathway to equipping community members for careers and community service through the store as it continues to grow.
God has already done more than we could have imagined with Fletcher Finds, and the immediate impact has been obvious. We ask you to pray with us for:
The store's continued effect in the community
The Compassion Center's continued growth
Expansion to develop Fletcher Finds further as part of our training, equipping, and discipleship programs
Please stop by and see us at 1913 Fletcher St. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 10 am and 3 pm to see the incredible new ministry yourself!
