Dear Friends, The idea of Community Warehouse is a simple, yet incredibly powerful one: household furnishings you no longer need can help create a home for someone else in your community. We are grateful to each of our donors for everything you do to help. Thank you for being a part of our lives and letting us be a part of yours. Warmly, Founder & Volunteer, Roz Babener

At the beginning of March, donations at Community Warehouse were sparse.
Thanks to a very responsive community, things are looking up this week.
We had many people helping to spread the word, and donations have started to come in.
Many families will be visiting in the upcoming weeks, so please continue to remind folks
to bring their Spring Cleaning extras our way!

Between both locations, the Warehouse has served...
736 people in January
587 people in February
...for a total of
1,775 people

This would simply not be possible without all of your gently-used goods, volunteerism, and financial support.
Thank you.

Incredibly Generous Neighbors

Long-time friend of the Warehouse and excellent woodworker Tim stopped by recently to donate a few beautiful, handmade wood pieces including two dining tables and a shelf. Not five minutes later, one of the tables was heading out the door with a very happy client.
Last year the Warehouse connected 1,189 dining tables to local families. Tables are such an important item for them to share a
meal or have a place to do homework. Huge thanks to Tim!
Last month, a very generous neighbor took Community Warehouse shopping at WestElm! This anonymous donor contributed $400 of West Elm gift cards. West Elm even gave us an additional 10% discount! We're lucky to have friend like these. Thank you.
