New Bedford Non-Profit Purchasing Furniture Store Site
NEW BEDFORD A furniture shop is set to become the new home for one of New Bedford’s oldest non-profit organizations.
Child and Family Services, which began as the New Bedford Orphans’ Home in 1843, is under agreement to purchase the property at 965 Church Street that is the current home of Regal House Furniture. Regal House is closing down its New Bedford facilities and moving all operations to its Fairhaven location.
Child and Family Services is looking to relocate and combine the services provided at its longtime facility at 1061 Pleasant Street along with those offered at 543 North Street into one facility on the Church Street property. It would utilize one half of the existing facility there as a mental health counseling center, with the other half serving as the home of a 24-hour-a-day inpatient facility.
I Never Thought I Would Go a Year Without Going to the Salon
After 11 months of rough hands and jagged cuticles, I finally treated myself to a day at the nail salon. For most of 2020, I stayed away from businesses that I felt unnecessary as a way to keep my circle small, but with the new year and concrete COVID-friendly guidelines in place, it was time to have myself a day.
It was a reminder that there are some luxuries that I never want to live without again.
To the ladies and gentlemen who enjoy manicures, you understand the importance of a quality experience. When you find the right salon, you leave that place feeling like you have brand new hands. It was a luxury I didn t have the chance to enjoy last year, so I was eager to go back to the salon in my neighborhood as soon as I could.
