MISSION MART CLOSING TOMORROW FOR
REMODEL
Beginning
Saturday, Mission Mart downtown will be closed for one
week. Ten members of the Cedar 3 team of AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps have
arrived to help pack and store merchandise, install new carpet and do a little sprucing up.
Mission Mart,
one of Lincoln's popular resale shops, will reopen with an open house on July 28.
The store helps fund Home Sweet Home Ministries in
Bloomington, which serves daily meals and supplies
shelter, as well as offering weekly sack groceries,
goods and programs as needed to homeless and low-income
individuals and families.
The Salvation Army Keest
Center will provide lodging for the AmeriCorps team while they are
here to work.
