BANANA BOX BARGAINS HE SAYING MOST OF US HAVE HEARD — “NO MONEY, NO MISSION” — IS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN BY IDAHO’S PAYETTE ADVENTIST CHURCH. THEY HAVE A WAY TO MAKE MONEY FOR MISSION. THE BANANA BOX BARGAIN STORE IS A SOURCE OF FUNDS FOR MINISTRY WHILE BEING A MINISTRY ITSELF. Charleen Williams, wife of the Payette Church pastor, is the one who brought the concept to Idaho. She had done the same thing in Alaska and is excited to have an even bigger store to work with now. The store provides food items Williams buys at a discount from suppliers because they are “less than perfect.” The items are sold to the Banana Box store at a bargain price. The community meets store staff and sees the church Howard Williams, Payette Church pastor, is one of the many volunteers. His wife, Charleen, started Banana Box Bargains.
