About Us We are currently accepting spring and summer clothing items (for men, women, and children) and accessories (underwear, shoes, ties, purses, etc.) We will not take winter items made of corduroy or wool; no more winter coats, coats, gloves, fleece or flannel.) We accept books, too (Christian non-fiction, youth and children's books). We are no longer swapping school curriculum, but we still accept jewelry. Each item converts to one point on your guest account. Everything in the store is worth one point going out as well.
You can bring in your family limit each time we are open (currently: families of 1-2 people = 15 items; 3-4 people = 25 items; 5+ people = 35 items). Your points are there for you anytime you want to use them! And you walk out the door without spending a dime! The Great Exchange is recycling at its best! ***WE HAVE AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!*** TGE is now in its 10th year of operation. But now, after months of prayer, our director, Katie Morgan will be retiring at the end of June. She states that, “God is just telling me that it is time, and I have to trust His voice. I don't have any big plans; I just know that I have to let go of the Exchange to take up “that next assignment”, whatever that might be. It has been a grand privilege to serve your families, and I will retire with a very full heart.” This leads to our next announcement… The Great Exchange will also be permanently closing its doors at the end of June. The Bridge Christian Fellowship loves this ministry, but they are unsure how they want to move forward. So…. instead of stumbling through an awkward transition period for our church, staff and guests, we have decided to close our doors. The church hopes to restart a clothing ministry; and if they do, it will likely be much smaller and look a bit different. So.... what does this mean for the next few months? We will be accepting spring/summer donations through April, so NOW is the time to bring in those items! After April, we will be focused on liquidating most of our inventory. We are no longer taking large donations. Thanks so much for understanding. It has been a joyful privilege! |
