Business Owner
Port Horizon Thrift-Waxahachie, TX
July 2020 to July 2021
After stepping down as Operations manager of Soul's Harbor, I decided to open another Thrift store in the same community. I considered the fact that there were too many people needing to get rid of unwanted items, but there weren't enough locations that would take them. Often at Soul's Harbor, I would have to turn people away because I had no room for anything else. To legally take donations, I was sponsored by a non-profit organization in Waxahachie, enabling me to use their tax receipt with both of our organizations on the letterhead. For one year I owned and operated a for-profit benefit organization.
