Covenant Furniture Ministry in Cutlerville to hold fundraiser on Nov. 18

GAINES CHARTER TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- The Covenant Furniture Ministry will hold a first-ever fundraiser night on November 18 at the Chick-fil-A restaurant in Gaines Township.

The address is 1545 Edgeknoll Dr. SE. That is along Kalamazoo Avenue, just south of M-6.

"We provide furniture to low-income families, refugees, families in need. We work with 175 different social workers in Kent County," Kari Plaisier said. She is the ministry coordinator.

Covenant Furniture Ministry said Chick-fil-A will donate a percentage of the total sales on Nov. 18 to the ministry. (See attached flyer)

Customers also can donate new household items to the ministry such as toasters, blenders, coffee pots, mixers, cooking utensils, bathmats, bedding, and so forth. Those items will be collected by the ministry at the restaurant and later distributed to people in need before the holidays.

The donations will be accepted between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on November 18.

"We're not asking for any money that evening," Plaisier said. "It would just be if you purchase food, Chick-fil-A provides 10 percent back from our total sales from that time frame - between the morning and the evening. And then, if people are looking to donate an item, any of those items can range anywhere from just a couple dollars up to $20 - depending on what item they're looking at donating."

No household items will be accepted during the morning that day, but a percentage of the sales proceeds will go to the ministry.

"The 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. timeframe would be if you go in to purchase breakfast. A portion of our sales will go towards our ministry that we've earned. So, when you go into Chick-fil-A you just say that 'I'm here for Covenant Furniture Ministry,' and then we get a portion of that at the end of the evening," Plaisier explained.

The Covenant Furniture Ministry is affiliated with the Covenant Christian Reformed Church in Cutlerville.
