Proceeds from Church-Sponsored Store to Support Troubled Teens

A church-sponsored resale shop in Princeton, Illinois, recently opened with the goal of supporting troubled teens in the area. A Dec. 2 article by Lyle Ganther of bcrnews.com provided the following details about the innovative retail effort:
Destiny Resale, which opened Oct. 31 at 79 S. Sixth St., is operated by Victory Worship Center on East Peru Street.

"Everything is donated here," said Shannon Robbins, the churchs youth and music pastor. "We accept everything except clothes. We have furniture, dishware, holiday items, toys, games, appliances and electronics like computers." ...

"All of our proceeds minus the bills will go to build Destiny Center," he explained. ...

Destiny Center, which is still in its infancy stage, will be designed to provide troubled teens a place to stay with beds and showers.
