MISSION OPENS FURNITURE WAREHOUSE OUTLET
FURNITURE DONATIONS CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES
Old Savannah City Mission is in the process of receiving thousands of pieces of quality furniture in excellent condition. Donations are coming by box truck loads from Statesboro and by tractor-trailer loads from South Carolina. Items include over 500 sofas, hundreds of bar stools, entertainment centers, beds, nightstands, dinette tables, thousands of dining and occasional chairs plus many other quality items.
“Times are tough. Cash donations have dipped. However, God is our Resource. He has surprised us again. It’s raining furniture. This unexpected blessing will help us help a lot of folks. Some of the items will furnish 21 rooms in our new Fresh Start Dorm at 2414 Bull Street. People who need furniture can get great bargains and at the same time help the Mission feed the hungry and shelter the homeless right here in our community. Folks can shop for a good cause at the Mission’s new Furniture Warehouse Outlet located at 1116 West 52nd Street.” Rev. Jim Lewis, Executive Director of the Mission.
The Mission has acquired a 26,000 sq. ft. warehouse (previously the Sunbeam Bakery) at 1116 West 52nd Street (across from the old Derenne Middle School). In addition to storage, the building provides a beautiful show room of the items for sale. The Mission’s “Furniture Warehouse Outlet.” is open to the public from 12:00 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Individuals, churches, non-profits, businesses and wholesalers are welcome.
On Friday, January 30 at 11:00 a.m. the Mission will celebrate the GRAND OPENING OF “FURNITURE WAREHOUSE OUTLET”. The media and community leaders are invited at 11:00 a.m. The Store will open to the public at 12:00 p.m.
Furniture is also available through Dorcas & Esther’s, the Mission’s thrift shop located in the Mission annex at 2414 Bull Street. Furniture Warehouse Outlet will open prior to its Grand Opening on January 30. Call Mrs. Connell Stiles or Rev. Jim Lewis at 912-232-1979 for more information.
