Sanctuary-turned-thrift store in New Orleans.
First there was the thrift store with a chapel in it, now there's a chapel-turned-thrift store. A New Orleans church began reselling items to raise money for Hurricane Katrina victims. Apparently the charity was so successful, they turned their sanctuary into a thrift store! Click here for the full story.
The "Sonshine Thrift Store" held its grand opening in December. Hastings said the response has been excellent since the program started. "We have had so many donations. People have been really generous," Hastings said. "We've been able to resell those things to help buy food and other things people have needed. We were able to buy a lot of toys at Christmas for children who might not have had any otherwise."
