MAP Needs Mattresses

MAP recently sent one of our members this information

Because of the recent economic challenges our country is facing, more and more families are turning to MAP Furniture Bank for help.  Due to local demand, we have a low supply of mattresses for our client families.  Nearly 20 families visit MAP each day and we are struggling to meet their needs. 

Not only do mattresses and other furniture items provide an improved quality of life for our neighbors in need, they can determine if a family stays together.  In Franklin County, children can be removed from their homes if their parents cannot provide a bed.

Welcome Warehouse Invites Donations and Volunteers

Julie Fletcher of Welcome Warehouse talked about the purpose and needs of Welcome Warehouse today.  Welcome Warehouse Inc.  is a non-profit organization that was inspired by a school nurse and a clinic aide along with a group of moms who wanted to help families temporarily in need in the Dublin community.

Welcome Warehouse provides a convenient Dublin location where community members can drive up to drop off gently used clothing and household items. Items are personally and confidentially distributed to families in need on a case-by-case basis. They are also involved with Adopt a Family.
