Store Work

The TCFC thanks Jim Tkacik for volunteering his carpenter skills in taking on a small interior demolition project at the Pioneer Market in October. Gone are the musty old signs and deli counter to make the space ready for interior planning. Jim is one of the area’s “good people” who give of their time to other deserving organizations, as well as the Co-op.
