Chrysalis Opens New Centrally Located Donation Center and Thrift Botique

Seconds 2 Go: 4747 N Central Avenue
With over twenty five years of continual growth, Chrysalis locations now stretch across the Valley
making a centralized donation location a necessity and an invaluable safety precaution. On September 2, 2008 Chrysalis
opened a new donation center The new center is located at 4747 N. Central Avenue in Phoenix (one block south of Camelback Road).
The donation center is able to more effectively mobilize and distribute items based on the needs of clients throughout
Chrysalis programs. Donations are accepted Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9AM -6 PM.
A portion of the space will be designated for retail sales to off set operating costs of the center. Seconds 2 Go, the
retail space, will open to the public on November 20, 2008. Initially, the store will focus on clothing, shoes, and
accessories with select house wares and furniture. Chrysalis will also continue to sell items through eBay.
Profits will assure the sustainability of the adjoining donation center and be used to strengthen Chrysalis programming
and services

Words of support "We feel that this is a very important
step in supporting both of our crisis shelters. There is a huge need for better storage and dissemination
of donations, with the added benefit of a future source of added funds
through E-Bay sales and a future Thrift Shop."
---Joe and Joy Nelson, volunteers and financial
donors to the donation center
"This center would more effectively mobilize and utilize donations,
thereby creating an efficient pathway to better assisting the women and children served directly by Chrysalis
."
---Martha Troy , volunteer and financial donor to the donation center
