Go Shopping….Give Back

Honeysuckle Quality Consignment is designating Thursday, November 5, as a day to Give Back. 20% of the day’s proceeds will be donated to Giving Back, a 501(c)3 non-profit that sponsors the Help the Homeless Drive in Baltimore, Anne Arundel County and now Washington, DC. Both shops, Honeysuckle and Honeysuckle Home, will extend their hours until 7PM for this special event.

We encourage shoppers to join us in supporting an important resource in our community.

Giving Back, Inc. -- a non-profit that sponsors the Help the Homeless Drive in Baltimore, Anne Arundel County and now Washington, DC -- is dedicated to aiding the homeless on many fronts. With the support of volunteers across the region, Giving Back, Inc. provides food, clothing, fellowship and programs aimed at encouraging self-respect and fostering self-empowerment. The program was founded more than 20 years ago by Linda Greenberg of Annapolis, who remains very involved.

Each Christmas, Help the Homeless volunteers distribute warm clothing, food, supplies, and toys on the streets of Baltimore. In 2006, Help the Homeless added Washington DC to the areas it supports. Efforts this year will be directed towards the collection and delivery of the 'backpack' program. Each backpack will include thermals, a sweatshirt, socks, hat, and a warm pair of gloves. Ideally, it will also include a pair of warm boots and a sleeping bag or blanket.
