The Summit Counseling Center is excited to announce a partnership with a new ministry - The Hope Store - founded and operated by Cathy Bailey. Together, The Summit and The Hope Store will sponsor a Huge "Yard Sale" / Thrift Shop Sale - collecting donations throughout April and beginning the sale in May! Read below for more of the exciting details!

What is "The Hope Store" and how can it benefit The Summit?
The Hope Store partners with non-profit ministries to provide leadership and space for donated items to be sold in a Yard Sale/ Thrift Shop atmosphere. Ministries receive 100% of the profits after costs.

When will the Hope Store be open to receive donations?
The Hope Store opened on Wednesday, April 7, 2010 and will be open to receive donations Mondays through Saturdays from 10:00 AM until 6:00 PM.

Where is The Hope Store located?
The Hope Store is located in the Nesbit Ferry Crossing Shopping Center (near Mount Pisgah, to the right of "The Derby"). The address is 9850 Nesbit Ferry Road, Suite 10, Alpharetta, GA 30022.

Wow! Will this help replenish The Summit's Client Assistance Fund?
We certainly hope so! On February 28th, 2010, The Summit completely exhausted our Client Assistance Fund and we have been working very hard to build it back--but we are barely able to keep up with the demand.

How can I help? We're glad you asked!

• First, Become a Donor!
Do some spring cleaning and bring your items to The Hope Store!
• Secondly, Forward This Email!
Let all your friends, family, and neighbors know about this Win/Win opportunity to clean out the house and help a worthy cause!
• Finally, Volunteer!
The more people who volunteer and help reduce The Hope Store costs, the more money we will have to provide counseling at The Summit!

Gratefully,
