I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved for their incredible generosity during 2017 to create our most successful year ever at the Good Neighbors Shoppe. As a result of this success, the Good Neighbors Shoppe was able to contribute $480,000 in 2017 to area civic and charitable organizations that support the members of our community.
A great many people are responsible for this success. It’s really about neighbors supporting other neighbors – from those of you who shop at the Good Neighbors Shoppe, to those who donate gently used clothing, furniture, books, art, collectibles, and other household items, to the dedicated efforts of our more than 200 volunteers.
The inspiration of husband and wife team, the late Gene Burwell and the late Roberta Burwell, the Good Neighbors Shoppe has evolved from its humble beginnings in 2002 in a small space in Lenoir City to its present state-of-the-art, 12,500 square foot retail showroom and warehouse located at 420 Leeper Parkway in Lenoir City. To date, the Good Neighbors Shoppe has donated more than $2.5 million to worthy organizations and charities.
If one of your New Year’s resolutions includes giving back to your community, I would like to encourage you to consider supporting the Good Neighbors Shoppe. Again, there are three ways in which you can participate: First, as a shopper; second, by donating gently used clothing or other household items; and third, as a member of our incredible team of volunteers that makes everything we do for our community possible.
Once again, thank you to all of you for your support, and best wishes for a wonderful New Year from all of us at the Good Neighbors Shoppe.
