bitspooky   10 #1 Posted July 7, 2013 We've been open almost 9 months now, and I'd like to say a BIG thank you to everyone who has donated so far, be it goods or time We wouldn't have got this far without you all xx  We've had some huge vets bills to deal with this year, and we need to keep the shop stocked constantly, so we can carry on helping all the dogs and cats in need. Can you help?  We're desperate for donations - especially any smaller items of furniture. Coffee tables, bedside cabinets, TV stands, desks, patio furniture etc., so if you're having a clear out, or redecorating - please bear us in mind.  Our shop address is: 131 Northern Avenue. Sheffield. S2 2EH We're open Mon-Sat. 9.30am - 17.00.  We also need good, clean saleable donations of clothes, small electricals, DVD's, books, shoes, household items, curtains, etc. We're also short of men's clothing.  As always - we're HUGELY grateful for all the support you've given us. Rain Rescue couldn't survive without your goodwill and generosity.  Thank you - Nicky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Rainrescue   10 #2 Posted July 8, 2013 Thanks Nicky as always. So many kind people do pop up to the shop and donate but it will be great to spread the word out to so many more many who don't even know our shop is there. It would be fab to tell our new student population as we get some fabulous clothes donated and bits and bobs for people setting up home for the first time too.  We also have some vacancies for part time volunteers being open 6 days a week from 9.30 until 5.00 that takes some finding to get people in to serve and tidy. Thankfully we do have some dedicated volunteers that come in and everyone says what a lovely friendly atmosphere it always has in there too.  Please, spread the word so we can carry on raising funds to help. Already this year we have taken out over 150 dogs from local dog pounds ALL were facing destruction until we rescued them and found them new homes.

hennypenny   10 #11 Posted July 13, 2013 Could you put a map and directions clearly marked on your website of where the shop is please? I went looking the other day with just a vague idea of where it was, and despite looking at your website on my phone I couldn't spot the address. I did find it once I was home again, but that was too late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
