Micah 6:8 Initiative Announces Grand Opening of “Thrifty Lil Bou Thang” Thrift Store Supporting Local Community

Published Monday, April 6, 2026 2:15 pm

The Micah 6:8 Initiative is proud to announce the grand opening of its new thrift store, Thrifty Lil Bou Thang, on Friday, April 10th at 3:30 PM. This community-focused store will serve as both a resource and a revenue stream to support the organization’s mission of helping individuals experiencing homelessness and hardship in Northwest Arkansas.

Located in Rogers, the thrift store invites the public to attend the grand opening celebration and participate in a community-wide donation drive. Guests are encouraged to bring gently used items, including clothing, shoes, furniture, and household goods.

“All proceeds from Thrifty Lil Bou Thang will directly support our programs and services,” said Donna Schillinger, Executive Director and Founding President. “This store is more than a place to shop, it’s a way for our community to come together and make a tangible difference in people’s lives.”

The Micah 6:8 Initiative works to provide support, resources, and opportunities for individuals and families facing housing insecurity. The thrift store will help fund these efforts while also offering affordable items back to the community.

The grand opening event will include opportunities to donate, shop, and learn more about the organization’s impact. Community members, local leaders, and supporters are all invited to attend and be part of this meaningful launch.
