MISSION STATEMENT OF THE NEXT-TO-NEW SHOP

Next-To-New is a ministry of St. David’s Episcopal Church, empowered by God’s love and sustained by hope, joy, vitality and vision to serve the church and others in our community. We are committed to conveying through words and actions our conviction that all of us – consignors, customers, our staff and volunteers – are children of God, worthy of courtesy, honesty, respect, kindness and generosity in dealing with each other.
  • We serve the community by rendering proceeds from our sales to Austin and Travis County agencies that work toward easing poverty, homelessness, illness and disability, delinquency, and domestic violence.
  • We serve St. David’s by rendering proceeds from our sales for the renovation and preservation of the church’s historic structure.
  • We serve customers in our shop by providing merchandise at reasonable prices and maintaining an atmosphere of friendliness and inclusiveness.
  • We serve consignors to our shop by offering honest appraisals and affording them a means of enhancing their income.
  • We serve a network of volunteers by providing an opportunity for ministry, and by fostering an atmosphere of loyalty, tolerance and acceptance.
