Over time, customs to the celebration include gathering in unity, teach the young about the importance of this holiday and to prepare the heart in gratitude as we reflect what provides us with goodness. By “giving-thanks” we opt to extend to others less fortunate than ourselves. Thanksgiving is the expression of gratitude, especially to GOD.
As a reflection of this meaning, and what the stores are designed to do, Jason wanted to give a table & food to a family in need. With a social media contest in place, 16 Cents, 3 Shoes & 5 Socks asked for names of people in need. In an electronic random selection, Kyla Lyons was the winner of a new kitchen table & chairs, $500 in groceries & $100 from Avista. Kyla is a new mom and recently married in a new apartment that was without a table for the Thanksgiving holiday. This provided more than goodness in our community.
When you purchase a mattress, table, sofa or bed from 16 Cents, 3 Shoes & 5 Socks you are doing more than providing furnishings for your home. You are giving back.
