Hill Country Community Ministries Thrift Store is opening June 1 at 1501 Leander Drive, Bldg. C, Unit 3, Leander. The thrift store supports Hill Country Community Ministries, which is a local food pantry and resource center that serves western Williamson County and northwest Travis County. The organization serves about 3,500 individuals a month, three times the number of people it served three years ago, according to Executive Director Tiesa Hollaway. Profits from the thrift store support Hill Country Community Ministries' ability to provide resources to those in need, such as those who have lost a job, lost a spouse due to death or divorce, or have faced a crisis that has led to financial strain, according to Hollaway. The thrift store needs volunteers to help run the store. 512-334-6464. www.hccm.org
