We strive to accomplish this by sharing God's love, providing inexpensive clothing, creating jobs, building community and relationships, and providing funds to help support our partners. As a mission team of Circle Venture and Circle of Hope, the Circle Thrift mission is intended to meet a subset of the mission statement established by its parent organizations. These can be viewed on the Circle of Hope website. A few of many shelves of housewares While Circle Thrift does sell some really interesting vintage wear, our primary goal is to provide quality clothing and merchandise to those in need. We are able do this by depending on clothing donations from Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) and people like you. Circle Thrift intends to create as many paid employee positions as financially possible. Most importantly employees will be provided a safe environment where they can experience and share God's love. Circle Thrift hopes to build meaningful relationships with the community and people of Fishtown/Kensington. We hope to do this by establishing relationships that go deeper than business with our customers and neighbors. We hope that many relationships will be taken to an even deeper level within the Circle of Hope East Congregation that will be using the space above the Thrift store. Circle Thrift is a mission team within Circle Venture. It is a primary goal of Circle Thrift to provide Circle Venture with funds needed to sustain and start new mission teams within Philadelphia. Circle Thrift is a member of the MCC Thrift Shop Network; each store in this network attempts to provide some funds back to the other thrift stores and to MCC for their many other world missions.
