The Salvation Army Angel Tree is in need of sponsors

Posted on by

CARTHAGE, Mo. — Time is running out to grant a local child’s wish this holiday season.

The “Carthage Area United Way” is hosting the Salvation Army Angel Tree.

There are 50 local children who want clothes, coats and toys this Christmas.

Anyone wanting to grant a wish can go to the United Way during business hours and select a wish off the tree.

“I just think it creates a personal connection with your heart to that young child’s heart. They were able to express their need and express their wish. And its just part of the giving season to give back and keep that local as well,” said Della Croft, Executive Director of the Carthage Area United Way.

Presents must be dropped off by December 15.

To adopt a child through the Carthage Area United Way email them at office@carthageuw.org.

Rhea Lana’s begins summer sales event in Pittsburg

Posted on by

PITTSBURG, Kan. – Shoppers in Pittsburg were treated to a unique shopping experience where they could help others in the community.

Rhea Lana’s opened in the Old Goody’s Building for its spring and summer sales event. It’s a consignment store with families re-selling things like toys, furniture, baby equipment and much more to help cover their own personal expenses and provide good items at a low price to those in need.

I think it’s great because it gives families a Chance to come in sell their items, make a paycheck and also shop retail,” said Jennifer Page of Rhea lana. “Because we’ve found the retail selection is low right now especially in children’s items, so this just gives people a chance to shop in a fun environment bring their kids in and shop too.”

The sale is happening now through March 18.
