Walking alongside this ministry — as a Founding Partner.
Christ's example is unmistakable — meeting practical needs is part of how the church shows love to its neighbors. We invite churches across North Florida, alongside businesses, banks, foundations, civic groups, contractors, realtors, ag and food companies, transportation providers, equipment suppliers, the media, community leaders, and the individuals alongside them, to walk alongside We Not Me Farms Ministries Inc. as the Panacea Community Store opens. ONE STORE CAN SERVE A COMMUNITY. A NETWORK CAN SERVE A COUNTRY.
First project
$25,000 to open the Panacea thrift store.
A church or partner that wants to walk alongside us can give toward this goal, host a drive for the store, or send a volunteer cohort on opening weekend. Every gift and every drive moves the project closer to opening day.
Ways to partner
Six ways a church or partner can walk alongside this ministry.
Every partner has something to bring. Pick the one that fits your congregation or organization — or combine several.
Prayer partners
Standing with the ministry weekly in prayer — for the Panacea Community Store, the team, the volunteers, and the families being served.
Merchandise drives
Host a clothing, furniture, household goods, or tools drive at your church and route the donation to the Panacea store. The store prices every item at $5 or less.
Equipment donation
Donate shelving, racks, signage, point-of-sale equipment, or other store fixtures that help us open day one ready to serve customers.
Volunteer cohorts (when available)
Bring a small group for a Panacea setup day as the store moves from a closed storefront to a working $5-or-less thrift store. Future farm and food workdays come as the program scales.
Trade and professional skills
Carpentry, plumbing, electrical, automotive, IT, marketing, accounting, and other professional or trade skills that strengthen the ministry.
Future outreach partnership
A future partnership identifying families in need, supporting pantry partners, hosting community meals, and walking alongside neighbors. Today, no food-distribution or harvest program is currently running — we are laying the foundation for one.
