If you you can't come into ReStore because of the weather, ReStore will come to you - with it's winter newsletter. (It's an attachment at the bottom of this story.)
Here's some interesting ReStore stats:
• In 2014, ReStore gave out $11,560.57 in meals, emergency assistance and donations.
ReStore wants to thank all the volunteers and donors who made this possible. Special gratitude to the Western Methodist Conference, for providing $2,000; Steve Eaton and his partner, for donating services to the ReStore auction, which raised $700; and Imperial Cup for paper goods.
Community Days at Elder-Beerman, Lima Mall, supports the Ada Visiting Nurses this year.
This year's event is Friday and Saturday, Feb. 27 and 28.
Here's how it works:
Purchase a coupon book from Ada Visiting Nurses or Lima’s Helping Hands for $5. You then receive a coupon for $10 off on any purchase of $10 or more.
Many other coupons on items not usually discounted. The $5 purchase price goes to The Patient Care Hospice Fund at Community Health Professionals. Call Deb Curlis at 419-788-9459 for your coupon book or stop into Community Health Professional offices in Ada.
Tickets are still available for the 9th annual Hardin County Business Alliance and Chamber dinner. The event is at 6 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 26, at McIntosh Center, Ohio Northern University.
Tickets and table reservations are filling up fast. Call 419-673-4131 to submit your RSVP. RSVP Deadline is Friday, Feb. 20.
Participants for the 23rd annual Hardin Leadership class, a program designed for the development of informed and effective community leaders, are being recruited now until March 4.
For those who have a heart to help people keep their pets in their homes, there is now a location in Ada where dog and cat food can be donated.
ReStore Community Center at 210 N. Main will help the Hardin County Humane Society by being a collection point for persons desiring to help dogs and cats stay with their owners.
Sometimes people have to give up their beloved pets because they can no longer afford to feed them, although they have had their pet for many years and the pet has become a part of the family. The Society also distributes donated pet food to people who foster cats and dogs.
