WARREN, Mich. — Art Van Furniture is partnering with Focus: Hope in a community service drive to provide families, seniors and schools with food, new and gently used books and art supplies.
Donors will be asked to drop off contributions at any of the 18 stores in the Greater Detroit area between now and Feb. 24 as a tribute to the late Eleanor Josaitis, who was the founder of Focus: Hope and has affected the lives of thousands of needy people in Detroit.
"Eleanor was my friend and an incredible woman who loved nothing more than helping others," said Art Van Elslander, founder and chairman of Art Van Furniture. "We are honored to be part of this well-deserved tribute that does what Eleanor stood for - giving back."
The drive will end with a ceremony March 10 called the Light for Hope Eleanor M. Josaitis Tribute, a fundraising dinner sponsored by the retailer at the Detroit Marriott to celebrate the her 44-year career in community service.
