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."
