Purpose of the Store

To provide students with job preparation skills in customer service, inventory management, and marketing/sales.  Students will be able to place their job performance on resumes with professional references and will have valuable skills to take with them in future employment opportunities. 

 

To provide resources for our students, staff and community members who need additional assistance in obtaining household food and necessities due to financial constraints. 

 

 

 

To encourage and model servant leadership with a focus on giving back to our community. 

 

 

 

 

The grocery store at Linda Tutt High School is entirely run by students in partnership with the local businesses of First Refuge Ministries, Texas Health Resources and Albertsons. Students are responsible for stocking the shelves, keeping track of inventory, addressing sales and monitoring registers when items are purchased. Students and families are given food free, and the store is open three days a week for students and district employees to shop for needed items, while the store is open to the community on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 to 7:00pm.
