Thrift Store in Dowagiac Helps Women's Transitional Home

"Apostolic Lighthouse Church, M-62 West, (on) Jan. 13 opened Hope’s Door Thrift Store ... in downtown Dowagiac to fund a transitional home for women looking to rebuild shattered lives...

... Proceeds from the thrift shop are earmarked to fund a transitional home for community women attempting to put their derailed lives back on track, such as those who may be going through a bad divorce, exiting an abusive relationship, coming out of drug or alcohol rehabilitation or making the transition back into society from incarceration."
