 TARP to Collect Furniture for Tioga Flood Victims

 
OWEGO, NEW YORK   December 10, 2011: 
In response to the overwhelming generosity of the community, the Tioga Area Recovery Partnership (TARP) has established a furniture distribution warehouse at the Stakmore facility at 30 Elm Street in Owego.  TARP thanks Stakmore for their generous donation for the use of their warehouse. The facility has been cleaned and is ready to accept donations of large appliances, couches, bed frames, dressers, book shelves and any other large furniture items. 
 
TARP will be hosting collection days on Fridays from 1-4 PM and Saturdays 9 AM-noon, or by appointment. This collection will continue every weekend in December, including December 24th. Due to facility restrictions, only large appliances and gently used furniture will be accepted. Mattresses cannot be accepted. Distribution of furniture to flood victims will begin in January, and the vouchers for furniture will be given out through a direct referral process from Tioga Opportunities, Tioga County Department of Social Services, and Catholic Charities. Due to the high demand, pick up of furniture from residential locations is not available at this time. 
 
If you have questions about the collection or the warehouse please contact Dave Woodburn at 607-687-4222 ext. 302. 
 
TARP is a collaboration of community organizations and non-profits who are working to coordinate and distribute resources to assist in the rebuilding and revitalization of Tioga County after the 2011 flood.
 

Tioga Opportunities, Inc. is in need of cash donations to help flood victims. If you would like to contribute, you can do so by clicking on the “Donations” tab at the top of this page or by contacting our office (607-687-4222).
