MISSION
Calvary KidStuff is a second-hand store for children’s clothing, books, and toys. It is located in Calvary Church in the Whittier neighborhood of South Minneapolis. The mission of the store is to serve families with very low-cost, gently-used clothing, and to introduce these families to other ministries of Calvary Church. Proceeds from the store support INSTEP, a childcare program of the Jabbok Foundation for low-income families who are working to become economically independent. The store is open on Saturdays from 9:00AM–12:00PM.
