YWCA opens home decor store

The YWCA of Pueblo proudly announces the grand opening of their new furniture store, “Repeat Home Furnishings: Gently Used Furniture & Accessories, consignments and donations benefiting the YWCA of Pueblo”.

Repeat Home Furnishings offers a wide range of gently used home furnishing merchandise and accessories at affordable prices.

A ribbon cutting will be held Wed, Apr 5 at 10 am in conjunction with the Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce and the Latino Chamber of Commerce to celebrate this historic occasion.

In the interest of maintaining the YWCA’s self-sufficiency and diversifying revenue streams, proceeds from Repeat Home Furnishings will benefit the premier programs of the YWCA of Pueblo including: the Family Crisis Shelter, the Child Witness to Domestic Violence Counseling Program, the Warm Water Aquatics Program, the Children’s Learning Center at PCC and the Infant, Toddler and Preschool Development Center at Keating.

Repeat Home Furnishings will also offer the women of the Family Crisis Shelter program the opportunity to obtain job experience while working at the store. Many women seeking refuge from domestic violence are without work related skills. The YWCA is proud of this opportunity to make an even bigger impact in the lives of these women who are on the road to self-sufficiency.

The YWCA of Pueblo has been in existence in our community since 1914. Throughout the years, women’s needs have changed and in 1978, the YWCA became a place of refuge and healing for women and children who are victims of domestic violence.
Now, in 2006, the YWCA of Pueblo is proud to take our mission to the next level by providing additional opportunities for women in our community.

For information regarding donating your gently used furniture and home accessory items, please contact Alis Mehess, Store Manager at 544-1776.

Repeat Home Furnishings is located at 115 Broadway, the telephone number is 544-1776. They are open from 10 am - 5:30 pm, Tue - Fri; and Sat, 10 am - 4 pm.
