New 2 You Reaches $1 Million In Sales

by Dave Radius, board president, New 2 You Shoppe

In 2003 a committee of parents and grandparents began with the idea of creating a resale shop - a quality thrift store whose profits would go toward tuition reduction at Grand Rapids Christian Schools.

Many in the Christian school community stepped up to renovate the old Gordon Food Service store, located at 2929 29th Street, and in May 2004 the New 2 You Shoppe become a successful venture of Grand Rapids Christian Schools.

God’s blessing has been evident as we now celebrate the store’s third anniversary and $1 million in sales! During our three years of operation, New 2 You Shoppe has contributed $630,000 toward tuition reduction for students at Grand Rapids Christian Schools.

“We celebrate God’s faithfulness in our efforts to support Christian education as we serve through this ministry. We want to raise money, but we also want to do ministry through serving our community. We praise God for a dedicated team of friendly volunteers and the generosity of donors and customers. We thank everyone who has made our third year possible,” says Steven Visser, store manager.
