Treasure House:         Update The Treasure House, a resale shop run by the women of St. Mark's, celebrated its fifieth anniversary and continues to serve the community with used clothing, books, toys, decorative items and furniture.    In 2007 profits from the Treasure House and St. Mark's Chili Supper sales provided $43,000 for community outreach including Some Other Place and Ubi Caritas, two highly visible agencies that the Treasure House continues to provide financial support. The Treasure House relies on donations from parishioners as well as the public and donations remain strong.  Donations are the life blood of the Treasure House profit source and all good quality items continue to be gladly accepted.  The Treasure House by its very existence is an outreach mission in that it provides a place with prices low enough that even the working poor have the dignity of choosing and paying for their own merchandise.  Cash register volunteers continue to be essential to our success. Opportunities for volunteers abound for women, as well as men of St. Mark’s.

Hours: Monday through Friday 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.   For more information about shopping or making a donation to the Treasure House call 409-832-0253 or come see us on the corner of North and Willow in downtown Beaumont.                        The Rev. Dean Calcote and the Rev. Frank Fuller with St.  Mark's Treasure House Staff: Kathy English, Karen Rush, Katie Maneman, Ellen Panchot and Ava Polk.
