Helping the homeless in the Pee Dee area of South Carolina is what the House of Hope is all about. But it takes money to serve the least of these, and Bryan Braddock visited the Radio Free studio to tell us about the House of Hope's secret weapon - the Mission Mart. The 2 Mission Mart locations provide over 50% of the funding for the various House of Hope ministries, as well as providing clothes, shoes, and other needs directly to the residents themselves. Bryan tells us how he took the struggling thrift business and turned it into a clean, streamlined, well-run bargain hunter's paradise. And how you can help the needy in our area simply by shopping for great deals at either Mission Mart location. for more info about the Mission Mart, visit www.hofh.org - and to hear the best and most diverse Christian music playlist, tune into Radio Free on any device - no app necessary - at www.radiofree.cc
