Christmas beauty and bargains
in store at House of Hope

PRESS RELEASE DATE: NOV. 15, 2010

House of Hope’s Resale Shoppe in Stuart has been transformed into a Christmas wonderland, filled with bargains and beautiful displays of merchandise.

House of Hope is offering thrifty shoppers a way to stock up for the holidays and help people in need at the same time.

The agency’s Stuart location – at 2484 SE Bonita St., Stuart (the corner of Dixie Highway and Bonita) – is filled with Christmas decorations, cards, bows, ornaments, wreaths, ceramics, trees, gifts and much more. The inventory changes as donations come in and items are sold.

The Stuart store is open 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday and 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Saturdays. The store will be closed for the Thanksgiving weekend, Nov. 25-28.

The income House of Hope receives from store sales is more important than ever as more people seek help from the agency. Declining jobs and rising prices are plunging more and more families into crisis, as seen by the surge in requests for food and emergency financial assistance at House of Hope over the past two years.

By shopping at any of the House of Hope resale stores – Hobe Sound, Indiantown and Jensen Beach as well as Stuart -- people can save money and find treasures -- all while helping Martin County residents with life’s basic necessities.
