Shopping spree for cold weather shelter

A huge debt of gratitude goes out to Craig Blomberg, Sutter Davis RN, who generously paid for a shopping spree for Davis Community Meals & Housing’s cold weather shelter. The shopping expedition was held at Community Mercantile (www.communitymercdavis.org), a brand new woman-owned Davis non-profit warehouse & store that focuses on waste stream diversion and sustainability. The purchases helped DCM outfit the shelter with blankets, comforters, furniture, animal crates, and more. A warm comfortable shelter will now welcome the unhoused later this week. While Mr. Blomberg’s donation benefitted both DCM and Community Mercantile-two local non-profits, it also helped put used items back into circulation, reducing impacts to the landfill and the environment. Kudos to his creative use of donating money!
