Dégagé is preparing to open the Heartside Community Christmas Store to help low-income and homeless residents of the Heartside neighborhood purchase holiday gifts for family and friends.
Store items are donated and then sold to residents at reduced rates providing an opportunity for the individuals to feel dignity and value in not only choosing, but also paying for the gift items.
Individuals who cannot afford the store have an opportunity to earn Dégagé dollars to use. Dégagé is seeking donations for the store, which will be open to Heartside residents by appointment on Dec. 18.
