Spring Furniture and Appliance Drive!

Details: 24 May 2013

It’s finally time for our CSS Spring Furniture and Appliance Drive! It will be held Friday, May 31 from 4 to 7 p.m. and Saturday, June 1 from 8 a.m. till noon.

You can bring your items during these times to our St. Francis Center in Auburn (1014 Central Ave.), our St. John Vianney Center in Hastings (325 W. 2nd St.) or our St. Joseph Center in Lincoln (23rd and O streets) during these times. In Imperial, at our St. Isidore Thrift Store, you can bring your items from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, May 31 and Saturday, June 1 from 8 a.m. till noon. We are still located at the old store next to the new parish hall.

You can also call for a pick-up in Auburn at 402-274-4818, in Hastings at 402-463-2112, in Imperial at 308-883-3005, and in Lincoln at 402-474-1600.

Your donated material items are crucial in helping us in our mission of helping poor individuals and families all across the Diocese of Lincoln. Items donated are either given to a needy individual or family, or sold in one of our four thrift stores, and the funds used to help someone with emergency services or a grant for counseling.

Just recently, we relocated a woman and her children from one location in our diocese to another, after having been threatened by an abusive husband. Thankfully, our diocese is large geographically. We had the ability to help furnish her new home only because of the generosity of our donors.

Items needed include working major appliances; bedroom, living room and kitchen furniture; lamps, and small appliances. In short, anything that makes a house or apartment a home.

In addition to this, we have a special request. We are in need of diapers. I was informed that we have plenty of sizes newborn, 1 and 2. We are in great need of sizes 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Thanks to all who donate material items to CSS! Thanks in advance for all those who will be helping and donating to this year’s CSS Spring Furniture and Appliance Drive! Please know that we at CSS will keep you, your family and intentions in our prayers! Saints Joseph, Francis, Isidore and John Vianney, pray for us!
