You meet the nicest people at our store.

So many people have come in and asked about our store: "Did you just relocate?"  "Is this consignment"?
"Who benefits from your sales"?, just to name a few.  Let me take a minute and answer some of the questions we get most often.  Divine Redesign is an extension of Care Net of the Lehigh Valley a non profit pregnancy resource in the valley for 30 years helping/educating young girls who they think they may be pregnant.  We have embarked on this mission in order to generate more funds for Care Net to be able to continue to help the young girls in the valley.  Why just last week a sweet lady came in and brought some of her unwanted items for us to sell and offered at the same time to do some volunteer work if there was any available.  She shared with me that she became a Mom at age 14 and because of the hard times she experienced she wanted to help those we might find themselves in the same situation.  I told her about our training classes we offer to most all our volunteers and also of the many opportunities available at our four centers.  With tears in her eyes she said she would be anxious to help in any way she could.

There are many other people who when I told them what we did and where the money was going were thrilled that their purchases were helping others.  One young lady who was an editor offered to do a story on our store.  She even told us to call the Morning Call and tell them about a new store in Wescosville, frankly that makes me cringe.  But the word is getting out that we're here and that we're open for business......and for donations.  We will be happy to take your unwanted furniture, wall art, home decorations, books, and ladies clothing.  People have said that they would rather give their slightly used furnishings to some place that would benefit from the sale then cast it to the curb for those midnight fairies to come and take it away.

Right now we are only open Thursday, 10:00 - 7:00pm and Friday 10:00 - 4:00 but we are hoping to expand and be open more days as we get more volunteers.  Each day we are open  more furniture is  added to our floor. So if you're looking for a girls bedroom set, a leather sofa, an antique dresser, designer shoes, and much much more stop in and have a look-see.
