❤️ A Friendly Update from Our Family Store

Hi everyone,

Just a quick heads-up that our Gorge Road Family Store will be closed for approximately 5 to 6 weeks. We'll keep you updated along the way and let you know as soon as we have a reopening date to share.

In the meantime, we'd love for you to continue bringing your donations to our Remarkables Park Family Store.

🛋️ Please note: Furniture donations cannot be dropped off at this time. If you have furniture you'd like to donate, please give us a call and we'll arrange a collection.

Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and ongoing support. Your generosity helps us make a real difference in our community, and we truly appreciate it. ❤️
