Julie Fletcher of Welcome Warehouse talked about the purpose and needs of Welcome Warehouse today. Welcome Warehouse Inc. is a non-profit organization that was inspired by a school nurse and a clinic aide along with a group of moms who wanted to help families temporarily in need in the Dublin community. Welcome Warehouse provides a convenient Dublin location where community members can drive up to drop off gently used clothing and household items. Items are personally and confidentially distributed to families in need on a case-by-case basis. They are also involved with Adopt a Family. We can drop needed items at their current location (6500 Shier-Rings Road, Unit O) on the first and third Saturdays of the month between the hours of between the hours of 9 and 11 A.M. Receipts. Check the Welcome Warehouse website at http://www.welcomewarehouse.org for items they will accept and for their move to new location happening in January 2009.
Julie mentioned the need for volunteers in many capacities:
-Pickup truck owners who can pickup large items like furniture and mattresses -Drivers to pickup other items -Assistance during the times the Warehouse is open to the public -Volunteers and vehicles to help with their move in January If you would like to volunteer email Volunteers@welcomewarehouse.org |
