Twice Is Nice Resale & Lakeside Lutheran...twice blessed
Twice Is Nice: the Place
Don’t let its humble beginnings in a small storefront in downtown Jefferson give you a false impression...Twice is Nice Resale was a big idea from the start. Back in 1993, the Lakeside Ladies’ Guild, Men’s Group and dedicated individuals provided funds for a faithful, hard-working corps of 28 volunteers to lease and renovate retail space. Within a year, they expanded into the space next door as well. Not a month went by without a profit. The goal—to assist the ministry of LLHS—was blessed immensely, as more than $1 million was gifted by 2005.
The Lord has continued to bless the efforts of this 100% volunteer effort. At the end of 2017, total gifts to the Lakeside Lutheran High School ministry totaled over $4.7 million. The end of 2020 has us approaching the $6 million mark. Based on an enrollment of about 425 in 2020–21, our support was about $865 per student at Lakeside Lutheran, in effect saving families additional tuition costs through our resale efforts.
Twice Is Nice: the People
Even more wonderful than the buildings are the people that the Lord has provided. Staff currently stands at an active 100 volunteers, and a few have been with TiN from its beginning. New faces join and quickly realize the value and joy that comes as they manage, cashier, sort, direct, receive, clean, stock and/or price thousands of items weekly. Each year, volunteers document well over 30,000 hours. You are warmly encouraged to help fill this vital need.

What customers see as they walk in—big and brightly-lit racks, shelves and displays constantly being re-filled with seasonal, high quality merchandise—is only possible with an equally large and organized back room. The 2015 addition provided much-needed storage and work space for volunteers as well as an improved shopping experience.
Thank God from whom all blessings flow...
