Its mission is “to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.” The store offers a wide range of affordable items, including clothing and shoes for all ages, kitchenware, linens, bric-a-brac, electronics, school supplies, some hospital equipment, and seasonal merchandise. Although the store previously sold furniture, limited space made it difficult to store and manage large items. Staf f members say they would like to resume furniture sales in the future if the store expands and adds wall shelving to better use the available space. To keep inventory moving, the store uses a rotating color-tag sale system. Each week, items with a designated color tag are discounted 50%. New color tags are added weekly, and items remain on the sales fl oor for about a month. Beyond retail sales, the store supports community members through donations and assistance programs. Proceeds and donated goods help fund local programs that provide food, clothing, shelter, and emergency aid. The 8 Discover Fauquier ■ February 2026 organization currently needs canned and other nonperishable food items, as well as diapers and adult incontinence products, which are distributed at no cost. Most donations come from the public, with additional food contributions from Walmart. The Salvation Army also provides emergency rent and utility assistance and distributes vouchers for clothing and food to those in need. Store manager Jessie Jessie McHansen McHansen, who has worked with the organization for 10 years, has also assisted with disaster relief efforts in North Carolina and Georgia. “We let people know they’re not alone and that this isn’t the end,” Jessie says. “Sometimes God relocates you to help you start again. Our goal is to give people hope and support them.” The Warrenton store relies heavily on volunteers and welcomes community members to assist with organizing donations, displaying merchandise, and helping customers. The store is open Monday–Friday from 10:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. and on Saturday until 4:00 p.m. The donation area downstairs is open Monday– Friday until 5:30 p.m. For more information, call (540) 341-8385. ~ Kristy Gillespie To advertise: 540-349-8060 www.discoverypubs.com
