Rima Designs Needs Your Help
Last year, after so many clients asked me what they could do with their old
furniture, I discovered HUMBLE DESIGN. It is a Metro Detroit charity that
helps women and families transition into livable homes from homeless and
women shelters. Their mission: "to provide families in need with dignified,
clean and welcoming home interiors." We set to work and held our first
furniture drive. Despite the frigid conditions, (our packing tape froze!), we
managed to fill two trucks! Check them out: www.humbledesign.org
Your gently used furniture and household accessories can give someone
else a fresh start. If you are able to help, join us for our second furniture
drive!
NOVEMBER 1st
11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
DOWNTOWN PLYMOUTH We will be camped out on Penniman Avenue
(behind Rima Designs next to the Penn Grill). Drive-through drop off
available for your convenience!
