On Saturday, February 6th, Community Unitarian Church of White Plains (CUC) sponsored a furniture drive at our warehouse.  Nearly two dozen hardy volunteers, most of them congregants from CUC, spent a busy seven hours at our unheated warehouse, helping unload furniture brought by donors, as well as re-organizing the furniture in the warehouse to make room for new donations. Special thanks to Rev. Carol Huston of CUC for her continuing support, to Ann Marie and Scott Damashek, who spearheaded the planning for the drive within CUC; to Danny Klemens, for his publicity and other assistance; to Marie Graham, who applied her special organizational and culinary touches to pull the event together and make sure that everyone knew what to do, how and when to do it, and made sure their tummies were filled with warming beverages, soup and other goodies. And let’s not forget Scott ’s fabulous pulled pork sandwiches! It was our first Furniture Drive/Smorgasbord – from now on, we’ll have to bring a chuckwagon to all our furniture drives!

Thank you to all the Community Unitarian Church congregants – those who braved the cold to work at the drive, those who donated furniture and those who supported us in spirit!  And thanks to the FS regulars who came to help as well -- Doug Graham, Jayne, Deirdre and Morgan -- special mention to Georgia, Morgan's 6-month old labradoodle!
