Dear friends:
It has been a great year at HUMANKIND! The store is less than a year old, and we’ve come so far since February when we opened. Thanks to your generous donations of clothing, money, and time, HUMANKIND has become a great success that continues to grow.
We opened HUMANKIND on February 14, 2009 in a small room in the basement of The Anchor Fellowship in downtown Nashville. We are so thankful that The Anchor believed in the concept of HUMANKIND enough to offer their support and a space for us to operate. In June, the store was bursting at the seams, so we closed for the summer and searched for a larger retail space. In August, we opened at our current location in East Nashville, a re-emerging urban area of Nashville, and held our grand opening in September. We are so excited to be a part of the East Nashville community. After operating as a ministry of The Anchor for the past few months, we are in the process of submitting our application to become a 501(c)3 organization. We are looking forward to the new year and are excited for the things in store for HUMANKIND!
The best news coming from HUMANKIND is that, since opening in February, we were able to provide full outfits for 40 international refugee students to wear to school. This is all due to your patronage, donations, and support – THANK YOU! Our goal in 2010 is to provide school clothes for at least 100 students.
HUMANKIND does not exist without the help of our community, friends, and family. We appreciate everything you’ve done – and are continuing to do – to make this concept a reality.
Warm Regards,
Ryan & Christina
