Blessingdales Christian Thrift Centers...

Blessingdales Christian Thrift Centers are local community distribution centers where people "Share the Blessings", by exchange of surplus clothing and household items to those in need. 

Clothing is selected for the Homeless and loaded onto our Mobile Clothing and Food Distribution Centers, (busses), and taken to the streets where the homeless live, allowing them to "shop" for clothing they need to survive at no cost to the Homeless.  Suits and Dress clothing is kept at our Christian Men's Training Centers for the Homeless in transition from the streets to Productive Living.

Surplus clothing from our Street Ministry is stored to distribute to numerous partner ministries or sold through our Blessingdales Christian Thrift Centers, along with household items and goods donated that the Homeless cannot use while living on the streets. 

All revenues go to fund Ministry operations, picking up donated food, clothing, and other items, so we can continue to feed 2,000 Homeless meals weekly in Nashville, TN alone, Clothe several hundred Homeless weekly, provide Shelter for Homeless, including the Homeless men in our Men's Christian Training Center in Nashville, TN, where the Homeless who commit to doing things God's way are given that opportunity through our 6 months Training Sessions that train them to work, get them a full time job, and train them to save their earnings to get off the streets.

Volunteers, particularly Ladies Ministries from local community Churches, must share the workload of our Centers to operate.   

Anyone can open a Blessingdales "store" in their specific geographical area under Layman Lessons Ministries.  Just call or email.  We will help you set one up, maintain it, provide accounting, legal, and Administrative help, if you provide human and financial resources for your local "Blessingdales store".
