WALNUTPORT, Pa. – Today for Make a Difference Monday, we’re featuring a nonprofit that has been around for a decade, providing free clothing and household items to our neighbors in need.<\/p>\n
Now, Caring Hearts has a new event space you can rent out to help keep the nonprofit going for years to come.<\/p>\n
The Caring Hearts Community Room and Event Center is right next door to the Caring Hearts Clothing Closet in Walnutport.<\/p>\n
The event center is a community space that you can rent out for parties, reunions, and get-togethers. There is room for up to 50 guests.<\/p>\n
The first event at the new space will be an indoor flea market and “fill a bag” where, for $10, you can fill a bag with as much clothing as it can hold.<\/p>\n
That event will be coming sometime in September, and the date will be announced on Caring Hearts\u2019 website.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, Caring Hearts Founder Denise Martinez says the support for the new space from the community has been incredible.<\/p>\n
“We are very thankful that we found this space, and honestly it is perfect. I still feel like it’s a dream. I just never thought this would all come to fruition, and here we are,\u201d Martinez says.<\/p>\n
Denise says she hopes the money they raise from room rentals will help her pay the rent and keep the free store up and running.<\/p>\n
Besides the location that offers free items in Walnutport, Denise also runs the Caring Hearts Thrift Boutique at the South Mall in Allentown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WALNUTPORT, Pa. – Today for Make a Difference Monday, we’re featuring a nonprofit that has been around for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":267191,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[119,153,155,154,112678,112681,112680,112682,101666,19122,112679,112683,50992],"class_list":["post-267190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-allentown","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-news","tag-caring-hearts","tag-clothing-closet","tag-community-room","tag-denise-martinez","tag-event-space","tag-flea-market","tag-free-store","tag-thrift-boutique","tag-walnutport"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267190\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
