Donations helps furnish Springfield Turning Point home
SPRINGFIELD – Rent-A-Center has donated $5,000 in merchandise to the Springfield Turning Point Recovery Center’s transitional home program.
Rent-A-Center officials and employees from stores throughout the Springfield region delivered and assembled furniture, appliances and electronics as part of the company’s Random Acts of Caring program.
Staff and board members from Turning Point attended an unveiling ceremony of the newly furnished Transitional Home, which will be used to accommodate those in the program in various stages of recovery from alcohol and/or drug addiction.
“The Springfield Turning Point Center is extremely grateful to Rent-A-Center for their generosity on behalf of those in the community that we serve every day,” said Ed Battles, director of the Springfield Turning Point Recovery Center. “This merchandise will enhance our ability to fulfill our mission of helping people restore their lives and be productive members of society and our community.”
The mission of Turning Point is to improve the spiritual, mental, physical, and social growth of those affected by any form of addiction.
In 2009, Turning Point hosted various meetings that provided assistance to more than 525 people from the local community.
Rent-A-Center’s donation included a refrigerator, a stove, a dining room set, a living room set, new computers, a television set, and eight twin mattresses to make the recovery center a safe and comfortable place.
Rent-A-Center operates eight stores in Vermont.
