There’s Enough is a free community exchange store. If you are no longer using something that still is still useable, drop it off so a neighbor can use it when in need. If you need something, come in and pick it up. There’s Enough is not able to take payment for any items, however, they are thankful for all monetary donations made to the store.
There’s Enough is brain child of Pastor Melany Chalker from Marshall United Methodist Church. “Our philosophy is live simply so that others can simply live,” stated Pastor Chalker. “We want to provide an open door to anyone, be nice, treat others with dignity and offer prayer when requested.”
This labor of love is made possible by numerous partnerships and volunteers committed to helping others. Oaklawn provided the building which offers ample retail, storage, and processing space. Many worked long hours to paint and renovate the building in preparation of opening. More volunteers are needed to process donated items and to work in the retail space during business hours. Those interested in volunteering in any capacity are encouraged to sign up for the two-hour training on There’s Enough Facebook page.
There’s Enough is open for donation drop off or shopping on Tuesday and Thursday from 3-6 p.m. and on Wednesday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Visit There’s Enough at 413 E. Michigan Ave. in downtown Marshall and like them on Facebook.
