Name: James and Frank
Title: OppShop team members
Core Value Demonstrated: #6 We are committed to helping others.
Living our core values: Opportunity House/OppShop has experienced increased requests for pick ups of donated items. We are grateful to have so many people who support our work by donating household items like furniture, kitchen sets, bedroom sets, and larger items. Frank and James are part of the team who helps unload pick ups from our trucks.
At OppShop, customers frequently request delivery of their large/oversize purchases. Because of the busy schedule, customers were experiencing delays in deliveries. We offer this delivery service in Berks County for $25. We needed a solution to keep our customers happy.
A few weeks ago, we realized that our box truck is available on Fridays to provide an opportunity to schedule additional deliveries. Frank and James agreed to change their schedules to start earlier and add these deliveries to their schedule. Thanks to their flexibility, we were able to get an additional 12 deliveries in just two weeks. Our customers were happy that they had their purchases more quickly.
Thanks to both Frank and James for your willingness to pitch in and help out where it was needed. We appreciate it and our customers and donors to OppShop appreciate your help.
To request a pick up of large household items like bedroom sets, kitchen sets, chairs, sofas, appliances in good working order, please call 484-957-3861.
OppShop is located at 3045 5th Street Highway, Temple. We are open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 7 pm. Donations are accepted at the rear of the store during business hours.
