Warehouse for flood victims overwhelmed with community need

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — It’s time for Juan Meza to get to work, rebuilding the bare bones of his home hit by flooding on Jan. 22.

“It’s a lot of work,” Meza said. “Hanging up the drywall, having to get the stuff from Home Depot.”

Although the reconstruction is far from finished, Meza, his son, and his brother are staying here. A neighbor gave them some mattresses to sleep on but they don’t have the money for furniture. Meza hopes to receive donations from this warehouse filled with home supplies for flood victims.

Donors can drop items off at the warehouse or call 610-351-1616 to arrange pickup.

Outreach Depot is designed to help people who are reestablishing their lives after

In Dundas, Graham & Brooks is moving into the former Valley City Manufacturing site at 64 Hatt St.

The business was previously in two locations, the salvage side operated out of a warehouse on Sherman Avenue North and the home, garden and cottage side out of a shop on Cootes Drive.

Husband-and-wife duo Lorna and John Parcher merged the two shops into a “diverse combination” of salvaged furniture and designed items in their new 6,000-square-foot warehouse, John said.

Way across the Niagara Peninsula, in Beamsville, Second Chance Decor is moving into a new Bartlett Road location, north of King Street.

The retailer, focusing on Wayfair returns and discontinued items, promotes themselves as a low-cost decor shop.
