In a humble shop, where hearts align,
For ten long years, our beacon shines.
A place where kindness finds its way,
To those in need, day by day.
For three and a half, we've led the way,
With open arms and words to say.
Meeting faces, young and old,
Stories of warmth and hands to hold.
Families with children, eyes so bright,
Find solace in our gentle light.
A difference made, a life renewed,
In every smile, gratitude.
Through every challenge, joy, and tear,
We've built a haven, year by year.
From empty shelves to rising need,
We've faced it all, with heart and creed.
A community, strong and true,
All thanks to the heart of you.
I wrote this as a thank you to the staff and volunteers in the Community Shop I help to run
