WHY WE EXIST

South 806 is opening its doors in Lamesa to make everyday goods affordable, invest in local youth, and give neighbors a place to serve one another. The thrift store is where it starts. A resource center for Dawson County is where it's going.

Lamesa is a close-knit community, and it deserves a place built for more than shopping. A place where people can find what they need, share what they know, and invest in the next generation together.

OUR VISION FOR DAWSON COUNTY

The Resource Center we’re building

South 806 was given a building and a van to get started, and we are turning that gift into a full community resource center for Lamesa and Dawson County.

The center will house our thrift store alongside space for donation sorting and washing, partnerships with local schools and organizations, and programs where adults, elders, and local businesses can teach young people practical, everyday skills.

COMMUNITY

Everyone deserves access to life's essentials, and everyone deserves to feel like they belong. South 806 welcomes neighbors from every background and every part of Dawson County.

A community grows stronger when people from different walks of life show up for each other, and that is the kind of community we are building here.

INVESTING IN THE NEXT GENERATION

The future starts with today’s youth

What if a donated shirt could do more than fill a closet?

What if it helped a child discover their potential, strengthened another local organization, or reminded a family they aren’t alone?

Through mentorship, practical opportunities, and partnerships with local schools, churches, and organizations, we’re committed to helping young people grow into confident adults.

Together, we can build a community where generosity is contagious, neighbors help neighbors, and every child knows they are valued.

Help us bring the vision to life.

Give toward our renovation goal, donate goods, or reach out to volunteer your time and skills. Every gift, every hour, and every idea helps us turn a donated building into a resource center our whole community can share.
