The Junior League of Lufkin is proud to announce the pilot of our newest community initiative: Goods for Growth Mercantile. This innovative, one-day marketplace-style event is designed to empower local families by providing essential items in a dignified, shopping-style environment.
A Marketplace of Opportunity
The Mercantile offers a wide variety of high-quality, new inventory sourced from major nationwide retailers. Families in our community can browse and select items they need most, including:
-
Home Goods: Essential supplies for a comfortable living space.
-
Clothing: New apparel for all ages.
-
Toys & Books: Educational and recreational resources for children.
-
And more: A diverse selection of rotating inventory based on community needs.
How it Works
The Goods for Growth Mercantile is strictly a community service event. To ensure these resources are accessible to those who need them most:
-
All items are provided for FREE. * No cash is ever exchanged for goods.
-
Direct Impact: By providing new, high-quality items, we help families redirect their financial resources toward other critical needs like housing and utilities.
Our Vision for Growth
As a pilot program, the Mercantile represents the Junior League of Lufkin’s commitment to evolving our service models to meet the modern needs of Angelina County. We believe that by providing these "Goods for Growth," we are planting seeds for a more stable and flourishing community.
