All funds are generated through the sale of recycled items at the Mission Store located at 2nd and Box Butte in Alliance, Nebraska. The Mission Store has no paid employees. We are an “all volunteer” store.
Here are a few testimonies from groups who have received grants last year:
“Thank you for helping us to cool our building for the whole county to enjoy.”
“Thank you for helping us with uniforms for our team”
“Thank you for helping us feed many people who needed a good hot meal at no charge to them”
“Thank you for helping us fund a scholarship”
“Thank you for providing a way to help the underprivileged youth of our County.”
“Thank you for helping us provide a meaningful experience to a group of young adults”
“Thank you for helping us to improve our summer programs for kids.”
Those are just a “few” of the meaningful responses we received from those who receive our Mini Grants. The Mission Store offers their Mini Grants each year beginning on September 1 and ending by October 15. The Grant applications can be picked up at the Mission Store during that time frame and then returned to the store by October 15.
