The New Trading Post, a ministry of St. Mark's, is a volunteer-run consignment store located in the center of Foxboro at 6 Central Street. The shop offers new and gently used women's, men's and children's clothing, jewelry, accessories, purses, decor, and small housewares. With an all volunteer staff and board of directors, we are committed to creating a thriving and enjoyable shopping experience. Consignors receive 50% of the sale price for the first 60 days their items are in the shop. Subsequently, these items are donated to the shop and marked down to 50% off. Our bi-annual clearance sales in March and August offer special bargains on seasonal merchandise. We take pride in identifying local organizations and individuals who can benefit from our unsold merchandise.
Throughout the year, we see our compassionate consignment mission being realized through interactions with our customers and consignors as well as through donations to the community. Experiencing the NTP mission being carried out beyond the storefront demonstrates the importance of our work and makes our continued efforts so rewarding. If you would like to be a part of this great work, please talk with one of our board members. We welcome your involvement!
Our beneficiaries of outdated merchandise include the following groups: Do Something Boston, an organization serving the homeless in the Mass Ave/MGH neighborhood and Clothes to Go, a volunteer group that provides free clothing to those in need. Clothes to Go offers a Saturday morning free boutique as well as regularly donating clothes to area social agencies. We are so pleased to collaborate with organizations that directly serve communities in need. We have also served several individuals and families who experienced unforeseen hardships during the year. In addition, we donate our unsold housewares to Big Brother/Big Sister Foundation and Vietnam Veterans of America. We are very focused on good environmental practices and making sure that our discards do not end up in landfills.
In the past we have been able to share our profits with the St. Mark’s Life Building Fund to support those in need in our community. In addition, we have donated to Project Do Something (PDS) to purchase much needed socks and underwear (social service agencies do not provide these items) for the homeless community living on Boston’s Mass Avenue. PDS distributes more than 100 care packages each week to this population.
Led by a Volunteer Board of directors, volunteers perform all the tasks of managing a retail business with no paid staff. From scheduling and communication, customer service duties, marketing and merchandising planning and implementation and financial and bookkeeping responsibilities, these dedicated parishioners and community members make sure that the NTP continues to benefit our community, and work tirelessly to represent a positive and active mission of St. Mark’s in our community.
