Countless gently worn furniture pieces much like the one below (in the before image) have ended up in The Salvation Army's family stores. Mmm. Treasure. Why not grant these items design salvation? UNCG's retail design students could recycle and recreate original furniture pieces, which could then be used to raise interest, donations and sales at The Salvation Army's Select store. Here's an outline of the steps required to make this happen:
-A small fund for materials will be required to purchase paint, glue and hardware.
-Clearance for involved students to pick up furniture at designated S.A. Family Stores free of charge would be helpful.
-Procurement of vacant window space at the S.A. Select Store's site will give the students the chance to showcase the renewed furniture while informing potential customers of upcoming raffle opportunities and the S.A. Select Store's unique mission.
-Posters and retail tags will be necessary for the window displays and furniture pieces.
-Raffle tickets and an organized raffle drawing will require management (tickets will be distributed to those who donate to the depot).
-Choice furniture pieces will feature in the store's displays. These pieces will be for sale.
