Mission Impact through community

Providing Real help and hope for over 50 years

Thank you for visiting us at the Ascension Chamber of Commerce Expo!

In case you missed anything, we’ve included everything you need to know right here. Explore our website to discover how you can shop, donate, volunteer, partner, and become part of something making a real difference in our community. We don’t want you to leave wondering how you can get involved—we want you to know there’s a place for you at The Fellowship Center.

Support through thrifting

 

Whether you're searching for furniture, home décor, clothing, tools, appliances, or that one unexpected treasure you didn't know you needed, you'll never know what you'll find when you walk through our doors. Our inventory is constantly changing as new donations arrive, making every visit a new opportunity to discover something special.

But we're more than a place to shop. Every purchase helps provide Real Help and Real Hope to people in our community. The Fellowship Center uses the proceeds from our thrift store to support individuals and families facing difficult circumstances by helping with needs such as medical expenses, prescriptions, utilities, food, clothing, and homelessness prevention.

So come for the bargains. Come for the treasure hunt. Come because you never know what you'll find.

But most importantly, come knowing that when you shop at The Fellowship Center, your purchase makes a difference.

26,000 Square Feet. Endless Possibilities. One Big Purpose.

Greater finds. Greater purpose.

The opportunity to directly impact the community by having a booth to showcase my company, amplifies brand visibility and builds trust. Sponsorship includes social media advertising, the $500 donation provides meal, exclusive booth for company, and direct platform with community on the tFC front porch. HOPE Saturday continues to be a great southern tradition of hanging out on the porch with friends, food, and fun. Focus is family seasonal needs. Your sponsorship will support families, share resources, and bring smiles to many.
