Pizazz helps support the programs and services of Harbor, Johnston
County's agency serving victims of domestic violence and sexual assault
and women in transition. The hours at the new location will be 10:00am
to 5:00am Monday - Friday and 10:00am to 3:pm on Saturday.
"The Pizazz stores are critical in supporting the women and children in
Johnston County who need Harbor's services and programs," states Keri
Christensen, Executive Director of Harbor. "The sale of items in both
stores are used to provide Harbor's clients 24/7 needed services. And,
as Harbor's clients transition to independent, violence-free living,
they may receive a gift certificate from either Pizazz store for any
item they may need to start a new life."
The store will be managed by Michelle McCullen. Volunteers are also
needed to assist in the store, and volunteer applications my be obtained
at the store or by calling Harbor at 919-938-3566.
"Once again we are extremely pleased with the growth we have seen in our
historic downtown district," states Chris Johnson, Executive Director
of the Downtown Smithfield Development Corporation. "With our position
as the County Seat, closer proximity to Raleigh and the Triangle due to
the new section of US 70 and our location on the I-95 corridor, we have
long felt that Smithfield would be on the front end of the economic
recovery. With the opening of another business, those feelings have
become reality."
