Retired bank officer now doing volunteer work with two nonprofit corporations that aid homeless persons and families and recovering drug and alcohol abusers. They exist on grants and badly need a more constant flow of revenue. I have proposed they partner in a general merchandise store and solicit "in-kind" gifts of new inventory for sale along with a large quantity of goods donated by individuals. City codes make it difficult to locate a business in area with good foot traffic and visibility if it does not sell at least 85% new merchandise. (No "thrift" stores!}
