Community

Our Focus on COMMUNITY

At Weinberger's, we believe there are so many ways to help make our community a great place for everyone. We're proud - and very pleased - to be a part of these organizations and efforts.

The First Stop Center

We donated furniture for the ''living room'' at the First Stop of United Way. The First Stop Center partners will provide services including rent and utility assistance, housing supportive services, the HOPWA (Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS) program, the HOPE program focused on preventing foreclosure and first time home buying, application support for enrollment into Peachcare, Medicaid, food stamps, etc, legal services and employment services for those with barriers. This room will give people a nice place to sit and take advantage of these necessary services.

COLUMBIA COUNTY WRAPAROUND PROGRAM

This incredible program recognizes that at-risk high school students need support beyond the classroom to achieve their full potential and to earn their diplomas. Wraparound sets up warm, welcoming in-school student centers where all students can get the support and services they need. Weinberger's helped furnish centers in six high schools.

RICHMOND COUNTY WRAPAROUND PROGRAM

This unique program offers students in Richmond County various resources like a food pantry, clothing closet, laundry service, mental health services and more. In order to increase success and development within the classroom, students need plenty of support outside the classroom. Weinberger’s is honored to have been involved in supporting this effort. By donating furniture for the “chill-out room,” students now have an inviting space to work on school projects or socialize in a safe, warm environment after school.

THE AUGUSTA TRAINING SHOP

The non-profit work center trains and employs mentally and physically challenged adults to repair and restore furniture, giving them greater dignity and independence. The Weinberger family and employees happily support this wonderful organization by donating time and money. We also host in-store fundraisers each year.

Empty Bowl

Each year, we help sponsor a community Empty Bowl event to support the work of the Golden Harvest Food Bank and the Augusta Jewish Community Center.

Furniture Donations

It was a huge thrill to be selected to provide all the furniture for a deserving Augusta family featured on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition! We also regularly donate furniture to the local Junior League and Urban Ministries.
