Hello Everyone,
I have exciting news…. the Thrive Medical Clinic remodel continues! Since acquiring our new space in the Spring of 2021, change has occurred at a slow but steady rate. One thing that has thankfully been finished for a while is Thrive Essentials, our material services room.
However, I have even more news, this area of the ministry is completely drowning……… in blessings! We have such amazing supporters in you who care so much about families having access to free and brand new baby and maternity items; and we completely understand why! Going out and buying or making something beautiful for a mother or her baby is such a fun and fulfilling thing to do and such a practical way to live out your passion for this ministry.
There is only a slight problem. “Drowning” was not figurative but literal. Despite this new space we are completely out of room for the massive amount of baby and maternity items that come in throughout each week. We’re consistently receiving items faster than we can give them away!
On top of this, the time has finally come to start designing and adding furniture to the new space. As you can probably guess, this creates a bit of a dilemma as we are unable to really fill the new space because it’s already full of Thrive Essentials items.
That all being said, we want to face this very good “problem” (having “too many” supplies) with what will be a really fun solution for all! We would like to have one day each month that is dedicated to YOU and the incredibly special way you support our ministry.
On the first Thursday of every month feel free to come in anytime between 8am and 6pm to Re-supply Thrive Essentials! Not only will this day be a day we can truly serve our patients together, but it will also give you all a better picture as to the current things we are truly low on each month.
In addition we would love for this to be a day where you can specifically come in and tour the new space or the whole of TMC if you have yet to see it for yourself. Our staff would love to meet you and give you an inside peek into the ministry. Another pro to this change is that we often find that our hours as a medical clinic work for our patients but sometimes can be tough for our supporters to work within. Therefore, we hope that this specific day each month, with extended hours, will be something you can count on and plan into your schedule!
We believe that Re-supply Thrive Essential Days will not only clear up room for us now to finish our remodel, but it will also give us a month between resupply days to hand out as many items as we can to make room for Thrive Essentials to be restocked the following month. This will be a fun day each month specifically for you, it will streamline supplies into the hands of our patients each month instead of sitting in a back room of TMC for months on end, and it will greatly help us continue to offer and expand all of our other services smoothly and effectively.
So! Remember the first Thursday of every month from 8am-6pm is YOUR day to Re-supply Thrive Essentials. We are so grateful for you and can’t wait to see you there!
