Naples, FL – Shop the Shelter for Abused Women & Children's Options Thrift Shoppe, located at 968 Second Avenue North in Naples, this Saturday, March 31, between 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., for the last Sidewalk Sale of the season and enjoy great savings on furniture and home accessories!

"We've been fortunate to receive several large donations including bedroom, dinning room and living room sets that will be available in the store," explains Options Manager Karen Balzano. "And, our backroom is filling up fast with dinning tables and chairs, home accessories, lamps and more for Saturday's Sidewalk Sale to benefit the women and children served by the Shelter."

In addition to deep discounts on items in the Sidewalk Sale, shoppers will enjoy savings throughout the store.

Owned and operated by the Shelter for Abused Women & Children, fully 100% of the proceeds generated by Options are used to fund the services offered by the Shelter, such as the 24-hour crisis hotline, emergency shelter, transitional living program, counseling for adults and children, outreach services and educational programs.

As well as financial support, this 8,000 square-foot store, managed by employees and staffed by volunteers, is a free department store for Shelter program participants who receive gift certificates to shop for the clothing, household furnishings and furniture needed to start their new lives free from domestic violence.

Donations of new and gently-used items, including clothing, furniture and household items are accepted at the store located at 968 Second Avenue North in Naples. To arrange for free pick-up of larger donations such as furniture, please call the Options Manager at 239-434-7115.
