Good day

Today we were able to furnish an apartment for a man who had no furniture at all.  He starts a new job Monday and his income will start in two weeks.  When we arrived at his place he had only his clothes, no bed, no place to sit, no TV, no music.  After loading the apartment the young man was taken to lunch. The great thing about this opportunity is, the furniture we gave to him was never in storage with us.  It went directly from pick up at one house to donation at this apartment.  God knows what is needed and allows The Reserve to be of service..

We have a larger storage area that is being cleaned for use in the very near future.  We are going from 400 sq.ft. to 2000 sq. ft. This is going to make the work much easier.  (No stacking furniture etc)

A funding source for us is located at Meijer.com/rewards   If you go to the web site and sign up, costing nothing, The Reserve will get a small rebate from each purchase.  When registering use organization code, 707220. A keyfob and card will arrive in about two weeks and the rebates can begin.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
