Work at the Grundy County Church Women United Thrift Shop continues as the community has stepped up and provided donations.

“Thrift Shop addition Phase 1 concrete work is complete and paid in full,” reads a reelase from the organization. “Thank you Grundy County families and surrounding communities for your financial support.”

Phase 2, completion of a 30-by-60-foot metal building and insulation will begin soon to provide expanded retail and processing space.

The organization is still accepting donations for the effort. Those wanting to support can leave checks at the thrift shop, 1705 Harris Ave., or mail them to Church Women United, 1705 Harris Ave., Trenton, MO 64683.
