The Christmas Store of Cleveland County has helped people in times of need and hardship throughout its time in the county, but now the store is facing its own challenge: finding a home.
Over the past 50 years, the store has relocated due to overhead costs and long term expenses, the store said in a press release. Most recently, the store was gifted a space at 641 E. Robinson by the Cleveland County Commissioners, is now looking for a more permanent home.
âItâs very time-consuming for our volunteers and disruptive to our clients. Weâve appreciated the countyâs help with this for the past 13 years. Now our hope is to find an affordable location for the long term,â said Justin Davis, who leads the storeâs all-volunteer, nonprofit team.
