| Franklin Federated Church Thrift Shop closed 9/15-9/16 |
The THRIFT SHOP, a mission of the Franklin Federated Church, is being established to support our covenant to be “A Community of Abundant Welcome to All, Growing Together in Christ and Serving with Love.” We want to provide affordable clothing to the local community. Our church supports many mission projects like the Franklin Food Pantry, Gilly House, and Common Cathedral in Boston as well as donations to charities to support families in need like New Hope in Attleboro. We view this volunteer run, donation-based shop as another way to serve and give back to the community.For more about the Thrift shop -> https://franklinfederated.org/thriftshop
