HUDSONVILLE, Mich — Mel Trotter Ministries, West Michigan's largest provider of services for those experiencing hunger and homelessness, is set to open a new thrift store in Hudsonville and will employ 14 people.
The grand opening for the seventh retail and donation center will take place on July 31 at 5221 Cherry Avenue and will be open to the public at 9:00 am.
“We’re very excited to add this new thrift store location in Hudsonville,” said Chris Palusky, CEO of Mel Trotter Ministries, in a press release shared with FOX17. “We’re constantly looking for ways to enhance our services to the region and bring the compassion of Jesus Christ to our neighbors in need.
