Heaven Sent Thrift Shoppe helps students with back to school supplies

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY – Middle and high school students residing in Indian River County may qualify for help with school supplies. Heaven Sent is serving needy families this back to school season by offering a $25 Staples gift card to purchase flash drives, calculators, notebooks, etc.

Pre-registration runs from Saturday, Aug. 6 through Thursday, Aug. 11 at Heaven Sent Thrift Shoppe, 1239 16th Street, Vero Beach. Gift cards will be distributed just in time for tax-free weekend to qualifying families.

Supplies are limited, so please hurry.

The Thrift Shoppe will stay open late until 6 p.m., Aug. 9 – Aug. 11, to accommodate registration for working families. You will need a photo ID and a copy of your 2010 tax return.

If you would like to donate to this program, each gift of $25 will help one needy student. Donations by credit card are accepted. For more information please call Estelle Smith at (772) 538-8331 or Brenda Sposato at (772) 564-0202.

Heaven Sent would like to thank their premier sponsors George E. Warren Corp. and Colkitt Air Conditioning for making this possible.

Heaven Sent presents previously owned furniture, household goods, curios, and many more items that are truly “heaven sent.” Revenue from the thrift shop directly benefits The Source, a ministry to the homeless and at-risk.
