Indianhead Community Action Agency’s (ICAA) Clark County Connections Thrift Store and Food Pantry in Neillsville will hold a Grand Opening Celebration Friday, Jan. 7, and Saturday, Jan. 8.

The Grand opening will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Hot apple cider and cookies will be provided.

The thrift store, which is located at 538 Hewett Street, officially opened in Neillsville Dec. 1. The thrift store and food pantry was previously located in Owen.

The ICAA Connections Thrift Store invites everyone to join them in this endeavor by welcoming them to the community during the grand opening.

The Thrift Store is open to the public, offering a wide range of gently used items, including clothing, household items, linens, books and hardware. Store proceeds are used to cover expenses and fund the food pantry.

Through the thrift store, services are provided to all Clark County residents who are income eligible. Services include the Food Assistance Program, Emergency Food Pantry, Rental Assistance Program, Home Weatherization, Transitional Jobs, Skills Enhancement, Program Development Program, Ministry Health financial Assistance Program and information about other resources and referrals.

ICAA Connections loves to connect with the community, as this is a great community project. People are needed to donate good, quality, clean items.

People are needed to volunteer at the store; shoppers are needed as well. ICAA welcomes community support and encourages its involvement in this project.

Donations can be taken during store hours. To contact the store and food pantry, call 715-819-1067 or e-mail Clark County store manager and Community services specialist Dianna Ruiz at ccicaa@indianheadcaa.org.
