Help Us Run the Store!

For the last few years, f2fmi has successfully run a TNT Fireworks tent as a fundraiser for our ministry. Usually, the store is open for two weeks and we make a couple of grand to support the work. This year, it’s a different ball game. This year, we are really going for it!

On June 10, our product will be delivered at 835 Boston Post Rd. Old Saybrook, CT. We will have 24 hours to set up our location and then we’re off. Our new location is… (as you may have guessed from the title of this post) A STORE!! That’s right, baby! We are running our very own store. And we have loads of ideas about how to make this not only a lucrative time for our ministry, but to actually DO MINISTRY with the space God has given us!

ADVANTAGES TO RUNNING A STORE:
1. No more night shifts! At the end of the day, we can just lock up and go home.
2. The store is located somewhere near the beach. We should be able to pick up some holiday traffic here…
3. There’s a bathroom on site! In the past, we either had to walk down to Walmart or worse yet, find a place in the woods at night. What a relief!
4. Can I get an AMEN for air-conditioning?
5. Did I mention we don’t have to do nights anymore???

We have so many needs – the biggest of these is volunteers! With the store being open until July 6th and then returning unsold July 7th, we could really use some support to cover all the hours between now and then. Could you come down and volunteer for an hour or two here in the next month? We sure could use your help. Setting the schedule is the first step in the process. There’s more to say, but we are not there yet.

If you would like to come hang with us at the store, please leave a comment here and let us know you want to get involved!!
