The Salvation Army is taking applications for Hurricane Ian donated furniture distribution
The Salvation Army is taking applications for Hurricane Ian donated furniture distribution. Baer Furniture and Hooker Furnishings partnered with The Salvation Army to provide a donation of over 200 new beds and accessories for those who lost their belongings due to the storm.
“This is a tremendous donation, we are extremely humbled by the generosity of these businesses,” remarked Major Carlyle Gargis, Area Commander. “There are families who are rebuilding their lives, who lost everything in their homes due to water damage and to be able to provide them with new beds and accessories is such a blessing.”
Households that were affected by Hurricane Ian will call The Salvation Army at 239-278-1551 during office hours, Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., (offices will be closed on Friday, Nov. 11 in observance of Veterans Day), to request an appointment. Each household will be assigned a case worker, who will be in contact as soon as possible to go over the application and eligibility requirements. Once approved, a time will be set up for the applicant to pick up their allotted furniture. At the time of pick up, clients will also be able to choose any extra used furniture that has been donated by Boca Bargoons.
