Fisherman's House Thrift Shop
The Fisherman's House Thrift Shop is an integral part of the South Yarmouth Methodist Church. It has existed in its current state since 1989.
It seeks to involve as many members and friends as possible in a working Church group. We currently have about 35 Church volunteers who work the counter, price, sort, and pick up donations. We are open two days a week (100+ days a year), 6 hours a day, (more than 600 hours a year), plus the Christmas Shop and the summer fair. Our volunteers are committed and would like to encourage more of our members to be a part of this working group. |

We hope that the Thrift Shop provides a meaningful entry point to integrate newcomers into the fellowship of the Church. Our volunteers have the opportunity to have fun while we get to know each other personally. It is a good place to meet new friends and provide Christian Love as we represent our Church in the community.
The Thrift Shop strives to support community groups and to provide needed assistance in the mission projects and outreach of the Church. We support outreach needs of furniture and appliances when available. We have fabric to go to conference for Nicaragua; items go to organizations that serve special needs; and extra clothing for the Red Cross, Goodwill, and others.
Proceeds from the Thrift Shop go to provide monetary aid to help in the financing of the general mission of the Church. |

There is a new blog posted on line called the "SAVVY THRIFTER" & in April this writer reviewed our FISHERMAN'S HOUSE THRIFT SHOP. She gave us a positive review & found our volunteers helpful & our erchandise of quality & said our shop is one of her 5 top favorites. A copy of this article is placed on the board in the Parish Hall & in the Thrift Shop for all to see.
Our volunteers do represent the spirit of our Church when they interact
with customers. Lets remember all you "great helpers" that you never know when one of our customers might be buying as well as reviewing us as they walk thru our doors.
A sincere thanks to all our volunteers for their commitment to this outreach
program of our Church. Don Shaw
The Fisherman’s House Thrift Shop needs your help to continue to survive and support the Church budget.
1-We need donations of good saleable items to fill up our shelves. We get donations of clothing but we desperately need those items around your house that you don’t really like but keep anyway—we can sell it! Donations are accepted at the Church Wed. & Sat. from 10am to 4pm or call for pickup. 508-394-8590 or the Church 508-398-9482. No sofas, tv’s, etc. as our guys are more “willing than able” to do heavy lifting.
2-We are also in need of counter/barn help to work a 3 hour shift as our volunteer staff has suffered loses due to health and/or family problems. This means that the current staff is working excessive hours. PLEASE can you help us? To volunteer call Martha Dumican @ 508-398-2495 or Shaw’s @ 508-394-8590.
