Lovelady Thrift Stores: Open and Thriving After Fire!

Hey ChumCity! We've got some news from The Lovelady Center and their incredible thrift stores. This morning, a fire broke out at their Clay location, engulfing two storage trailers packed with donated goodies.

No Damage, Just a Setback!

Thankfully, nobody was hurt, and the stores themselves are perfectly fine and OPEN! But, sadly, a whole lotta donated clothes, furniture, and household items went up in smoke. These donations are super important because they fuel The Lovelady Center's amazing work with women and children across Alabama.

Community to the Rescue!

Even after the loss, the community's response has been incredible! Melinda MeGahee, Executive Director of The Lovelady Center, said, "We are safe. We are open. And we are grateful! We are reminded how blessed we are to have such an amazing community standing beside us."

How You Can Help!

The Lovelady Center is still accepting donations at both store locations. Every single donation helps support the 950+ women and children they care for every day. Think recovery services, housing, education, childcare, and job training. They're changing lives!

Thanks, ChumCity!

The Lovelady Center is sending a HUGE thank you to everyone for the prayers, encouragement, and support. You guys are the best! Keep the donations coming!
