WHERE TO NEXT?By Chrissy Gray
For the last 27 years, The Eli Home’s mission has been to break the cycle of child abuse. Located in Anaheim, their program includes shelter, counseling and vital support services. In support of this program, Eli runs a successful thrift store. This social enterprise is unique in that it serves multiple purposes, including food, clothing, furniture and household items to Eli families; low-cost goods to neighboring at-risk families; a valuable revenue source for the organization; office space for classes and support services to local residents; and a supervised job training program for Eli moms.
While the thrift store continues to thrive, it is in need of significant renovation. In response to this need, The Eli Home and eVocal, the Costa Mesa artist collaborative, have initiated the Thrift Store Revitalization Project. This will include new flooring, signage and paint, murals that reflect The Eli Home mission, a new “Kids Corner” for children’s activities and signage wrapping for their truck that picks up all donations.
Their goal is to finish the project by the end of June and they need all the help they can get! Take a look at the sponsorship information below and support The Eli Home by sponsoring a specific area of the project – and pass the information along to anyone you know you may be interested as well! For more information you can contact Tami Galloway, Director of Development, at 714.300.0600.
