20 visit www.shopgrovecity.com When the director and volunteer staff from a Grove City thrift store decided to strike out on their own in 2014 they found the ideal location for their new shopdirectly across from Memorial Park on Main Street. But though they fell in love with it director Debbie Kochems worried that they might not be able to afford to cover the rent for this little piece of heaven. Turns out her concerns were unfounded. I figured out wed need to make 75 in sales every day to pay the overhead said Kochems. And on our first day we made nearly 500. Business has been booming ever since opening day at All Good Things Thrift Shoppe. If you believe in Karma then youd know it is alive and well in this place. The amiable group of volunteers sit down to lunch together every day and agree that working here makes them feel useful and gives them a sense of purpose. They are very dedicated and never call off said Kochems. Were priceless but we work for free quipped volunteer Connie DiCola. All Good Things is a non- profit organization with its main benefactors The Humane Society of Mercer County AWARE of Mercer County and the Childrens Aid Society in Mercer. Well before it reached the anniversary of its first year in business All Good Things donated 50000 to its partner agencies along with a long list of other worthy causes including a family emerging from domestic violence and a friend who was providing necessities for four grandchildren. Each month the group gets together after hours for dinner and honors a volunteer of the month who gets to select a favorite cause to receive a 500 donation. Its a nice way to All for the Greater Were priceless but we work for free. - DiCola Good
