Why are there multiple calendars?

Respectfully, the Library and Senior Center calendars are too full of events to include all their events so we tend to focus on the major events. Town and School meetings are also kept separate. Links for all the calendars are shared here:

Thrifty Threads opens during the Farmers Market on Friday's

The Franklin Federated Church Thrift Shop sells gently used clothing for women, men, and children.

• The THRIFT SHOP is open on Fridays from 2 to 5 PM.
• Update - added hours on Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM

Next time you stop at the Farmers Market, stretch your legs a bit to cross Main Street and visit the "Thrifty Threads" operation at the Franklin Federated church.

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.
