From the WAA Archives | More Than a Thrift Shop
What if a small thrift shop could do more than provide affordable clothing and household items? What if it could also open doors to new opportunities and change lives?
During the 1990s, Sister Maureen Murray, RSHM, helped make that possible in Lennox, Los Angeles, turning a small thrift shop into a welcoming place where people found dignity, friendship, and opportunities for employment.
Decades later, the needs are still with us. Families continue to struggle, and communities still need people willing to make a difference. Sister Maureen’s ministry reminds us that sometimes the simplest ideas can have a lasting impact.
Listen to this archival recording from the mid-1990s as Sister Maureen shares her experience and the heart behind this special ministry.
Her story invites us to reflect: What can we do today to open doors and create opportunities for others?
Living the RSHM mission: “That all may have life.”
