February 17, 2024 – Every week we have a few people that stumble into the shop and take some time to look around and make all kinds of wonderful comments on the shop. They love the idea and they love what we are doing. The folks then thank us and leave not buying a thing but almost always with the statement “We’ll be back.” The accolades are rewarding but they don’t pay the bills.
As I stated earlier in the month about our options for staying in business. One is getting monthly contributors to cover the overhead expenses we have. This would include rent, utilities, insurance, and some labor costs.
(Our REED workshop space where we work to make things to sell)
(Some of the retail space)
We need about $3,500 a month to cover these. I know it is not glamorous to give to this, but it is needed. If you want to help even with a one-time gift during the really slow winter months that would be great. If you want to contribute to this need monthly that would be awesome. If you are not able to help please join us in prayer for these needs and wisdom to know if it is time to serve in another way.
Thanks for your prayers.
