Salvation Army Store

Salvation Army Family Store

It is with a thankful, sad heart I write for the last time as the Manager of the Salvation Army Family store.

I wish to thank the team of volunteers who have worked so very hard in the last ten days we were open to clear out all we had for our customers to browse and buy for the last time. What a mammoth effort they have put in, thank you. May God bless each of you in your next life stage. 

Vinnies also helped pack and move things to their shop after we closed. It was helpful to have a community based charity to take unsold merchandise.

Thank you to the Barraba community for coming out and supporting us with their purchases and more importantly the wonderful positive feedback for staff.

We were treated to a delicious farewell lunch by the Army at Polkadot on Tuesday where Sandra and Jess attended to our every need. Thank you

I would also like to acknowledge past volunteers and Roylene Conway for their contribution over the years that the store has served the community.

To Peta, the shop owner with whom I have enjoyed a positive working relationship. I wish you well with the next stage of life for this beautiful building.

Mostly I thank God for the blessings working at the Salvos store and serving the community of Barraba has brought.

Prayerfully yours always

Dale
