Resale shop helps those in need

A resale shop that donates its proceeds to an emergency shelter has moved into bigger quarters, reports the Herald-Palladium.

The move to 510 W. Main St. in Benton Harbor triples the space available to 6 Degrees Resale Store, according to manager Sally Sovinski.

Excerpt:

"We were very packed, so we moved to a much bigger space," she said.

Emergency Shelter Services, at 645 Pipestone St. in Benton Harbor, provides housing and other services for families who otherwise would be homeless.

Proceeds from 6 Degrees Resale Store support the work of ESS. Client families in need of items such as clothing or furniture can pay for them by working at the store.

In addition to helping ESS clients learn job skills, the store employs workers through the Michigan Works Jobs, Education and Training (JET) Program.
