THE TRADING POST

*Food* Clothing *Infant Items* *Household Needs*

The Trading Post which is located at 38 Franklin St. in Springville, is a store atmosphere, where families are able to come in to access, trade, or purchase gently used clothing, infant, and houshold necessity items. We also operate a weekly food distribution program that assists families to help stretch their food budgets. We currently assist an average of 250 families per month with food and countless others with their clothing and household needs.

1 John 3:17-18

If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

Our Hours of Operation are:

Monday~through~Friday 10am - 4pm

Saturday 10am - 2pm
