The Care & Share Shoppes’ are delighted to present to their customers the opportunity to purchase gift cards which can be used in the Clothing, Variety and Furniture Shoppes. Proceeds from these shoppes benefit Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) which is a relief, development and peace agency of the Mennonite and Brethren in Christ Churches.
These gift cards will be replacing the previous paper gift certificate program. Customers are encouraged to redeem their paper gift certificates by December 31, 2009, whereas after this date they will no longer be accepted.
Sarah Bergin, Executive Director of the Care and Share Shoppes, explained the benefit of these cards. “Your gift card purchase helps many. First, the person you give it too will benefit from a huge selection of high quality merchandise in our shoppes, where your dollar buys much more than if you were shopping at a new retailer. Second, the money spent at our shoppes then becomes your ‘gift to the world’ as MCC uses these funds to assist others.”
“Many people are often surprised to learn that 25% off MCC’s funding supports those here in the United States,” continued Sarah. “Customers and those that donate to our shoppes should feel good knowing that MCC does a remarkable job finding non-profit partners to facilitate our donated dollars in the most effective manner.”
The increasingly popular monthly half-price sale will now be on the third Friday of each month – the next one on March 20. Shop from 10am till 8pm, all items in the three Shoppes are half of the ticketed price with a few exceptions and must be removed the day of sale.
The Care & Share Shoppes have been serving the local community for over 32 years. The Shoppes are centrally located; 10 miles from Doylestown, 10 miles from Quakertown, and 8 miles from Lansdale. Local shoppers benefit from the availability of low cost, high quality items. Donors contribute to the recycling and conservation efforts that affect the broader community in positive ways. Volunteers become part of a special community which embraces service above self. The funds raised for Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) provide resources and aid for those in need, in North America and around the world.
