Miracle Hill Ministries to Bring a Thrift Store Revival to Greenville!

Get ready, Greenville! Change is on the horizon as Miracle Hill Ministries steps in to rebrand two Habitat for Humanity ReStores into vibrant thrift stores! This exciting transformation includes locations at 3303 Wade Hampton Boulevard and 1818 Woodruff Road. Residents are buzzing with anticipation as the Woodruff Road store prepares to kick things off with a sale of surplus merchandise right away. Meanwhile, the Wade Hampton store will follow suit just around the corner!

Thrifting for a Good Cause

So, what can you expect when you stroll into these thrift stores? Miracle Hill is all about offering a treasure trove of donated items. From stylish clothing for men, women, and children to cozy furniture pieces, home goods, and kitchenware, shoppers are sure to find something special. But that’s not all! There’ll also be electronics, books, toys, shoes, and accessories ready to discover. Each purchase made at these stores will not just brighten your day but will also contribute to Miracle Hill Ministries’ mission of providing shelter, food, and miracles for those in need in the community.

A Partnership for Progress

This collaboration between Miracle Hill Ministries and Habitat for Humanity is more than just a renaming of stores. It stems from an opportunity presented to Miracle Hill last summer, allowing both organizations to focus more intently on their individual missions. Habitat can now dig deeper into homeownership advocacy, paving the way to build more homes and help families thrive. In turn, Miracle Hill can expand its reach and resources, allowing it to do even more good work in the community.

Expanding Operations and Impact

Miracle Hill is no stranger to operating thrift stores; they already run eight locations in the region. Their stores use a streamlined “door to floor” system for restocking donated items, ensuring that everyone gets the best shopping experience possible. Donations—which can easily be made through direct drop-offs or via Miracle Hill’s trucks—this process helps maintain a fresh and exciting selection for shoppers.

Interestingly, about 10% of the merchandise sold comprises newly purchased items, including mattresses and bedding. This ensures variety while also complying with safety standards. Plus, all donations made to Miracle Hill are entirely tax-deductible, adding another layer of incentive for supportive community members.

Supporting Local Lives

The profits from these thrift stores won’t just stop at providing a great shopping experience. They will also fund various essential programs like counseling services and meals for disadvantaged individuals and families. Miracle Hill aims to uplift the community in more ways than one by providing employment opportunities for those who have graduated from their programs. This commitment is not only about charity but creating a sustainable support system.

Looking Ahead

Along with the transformation of these two stores, locals can look forward to renovations and the grand rebranding slated to kick off in early 2025. The reopening schedule is exciting too—shoppers can expect the Woodruff Road location to spring back to life in the spring of 2025, while the Wade Hampton Boulevard store is set to welcome customers by fall.

A Growing Mission

Miracle Hill launched its first boutique-style thrift store in Simpsonville this year and is already planning further expansions in response to the amazing support from the community. As they rebrand these stores, you can be sure that when you step inside, you’re not just shopping. You are joining a mission to uplift lives and transform the local landscape for the better.

Mark your calendars, Greenville! The future looks bright, and the thrift store adventure is just beginning!
