What a year! So many milestones in 2023: our 30th anniversary, a store manager brought onboard to keep us going strong, several new volunteers, and most recently, finding out we surpassed $1.055 million in register sales in the 12 months of 2023. Keep visiting us and finding those fantastic bargains; keep considering how you might become part of our vital, fun-loving volunteer corps. We’re open 10-4 Monday through Saturday, and close only for major holidays and when Lakeside closes because of severe weather. We’re just a minute east on the Hwy 18 exit off the Hwy 26 bypass at 907 W. Racine St in Jefferson. Thank you for shopping local and small for the big deals!
Volunteer: We are so grateful for several new governing board members, including Bruce Davis, Beth Huber and Joel Ibeling, as well as a pastoral advisor for the board, Pastor Jim Werner. We thank those outgoing for their many faithful years of service: Jayne Pfeifer, Jennifer Rhodes, Dan Uttech and Pastor Glen Schmiege. We continue to have many spots for new volunteer faces, with specific need in Sewing and Crafts, Fall/Halloween, Christmas (yes, already! sorting and pricing of wall hangings, table tops, stockings, hats) Coats (sorting and pricing) and Sporting Goods.

Thank you. November 15 marked the 30th anniversary of our first day of business 30 years ago. We celebrated our customers with a wonderful sale, but extra special was the prayer written on behalf of Twice is Nice and shared with all the volunteers:

​Dear Lord, During the past 30 years there have been challenges, but you have guided us and led us to decisions that were in the best interest of Twice is Nice. We are thankful for the many blessings you have granted us: great customers, dedicated & faithful volunteers, abundant donations and sales which have given us the opportunity to support students at Lakeside Lutheran High School above and beyond what we anticipated. Be with us as we continue to operate Twice Is Nice and help us work together always for the good of you and always remembering who is really in charge & giving us these many blessings. Amen!

Shop: Fall brings sweater weather and seasonal home décor opportunities, and Twice is Nice can help you with that.

We’re easy-to-find and open Mondays-Saturdays from 10-4 PM: just a minute or so east on the Hwy 18 exit off the 26 bypass at 907 W. Racine St., next to the Jefferson Piggly Wiggly.

Volunteer: Toward this goal, the weekend of October 7-8 is Christmas changeover. We hope to see old and new faces who will help us get a higher than ever amount of Christmas inventory on the floor—LLHS parents and teens, grandparents, friends, congregational groups—you’re all needed! Beginning 4 pm on Saturday, Oct. 7, the shelves get stripped of merchandise and washed, several hours of work for many hands. Then starting at 10 am on Sunday, Oct. 10, we welcome help to merchandise Christmas items—an all-day, come-when-you-can for as long as you can. Lunch will be provided Sunday. Enter via the back-donation doors either day. Another immediate need we have is for Friday cashiers; bagging help will be critical during the Christmas ornament-wrapping season! Call the store at 920-674-6868 during open hours or email [email protected] to let Megan know you plan to help. THANK YOU!

Store volunteers will host a Warrior Wear area for families coming to Lakeside Lutheran registration August 2 & 8 from 5-8 pm.
