Foxwood Springs Thrift Shop

Foxwood Springs Thrift Shop located on Long Street in Foxwood Springs was opened a little over a year ago.  It is already showing great potential.  Proceeds from the Thrift Shop go to the Foxwood Springs Residents’ Council, a not-for-profit organization which sponsors the Fellowship of John program.  The monies in this fund are used to help residents of the community who outlive their resources.

The store, staffed by resident volunteers, sells furniture, clothing, linens, jewelry, kitchen items, children’s items, and bric-a-brac.  It is stocked by donations from both the residents of Foxwood Springs and the surrounding community.

“We’re very proud that we have opened this Thrift Shop,” explained resident Yvonne Paysinger.  “We hope that it will be a service not just to Foxwood residents, but also to the surrounding communities.  It’s a pleasant place to shop at reasonable prices.”

Donations of quality used items are accepted, providing an opportunity for items to be recycled rather than thrown away.  Paysinger explained that the Thrift Shop is one of three shops in Foxwood Springs that benefit the Fellowship of John.  There is also a Gift Shop, selling new handmade items, and a Bargain Barn.  Store hours are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Raymore Mayor Juan Alonzo welcomed the new enterprise to the community, commenting, “I want to congratulate you on your proactive efforts of service.  Not only does the Thrift Shop help supply a need within the Foxwood Springs Community, but it also provides reasonably priced shopping for area residents.  The concept of reusing items and the means to make them accessible to those who will use them, benefits the entire community and cuts down on waste.  Thank you for investing so much time and energy into the betterment of Raymore.”
