H&Z Customers Dig Deep

On behalf of Hester & Zipperer, I want to send thanks out to those of you that have donated to our Clothing Etc. drive benefiting the Metter family whose trailer burned. For those of you that would still like to contribute, please see my previous post on this blog for size information.

Thanks again! -Christine

H&Z Benefit For Family Who Lost Everything in Fire

Hester & Zipperer is collecting items for a family living near Metter, Georgia who lost everything when the trailer they were living in at the time caught fire. We have learned that the father was badly burnt and is currently receiving treatment for his injuries. We are unaware of specific injuries that may have been sustained by the mother, eight-month-old girl, and three-year-old boy. We do know that a three-year-old friend who was visiting did not survive.

Both locations of Hester & Zipperer will be collecting the following items:

Clothing for the little girl-size 12 months
Clothing for the little boy-size 3-4 toddler
Clothing for the mother-size zero
Clothing for the father-size XL shirts and size 38 pants
New or gently-used toys

All kinds of gift cards are appreciated. The family does not have a permanent residence yet, so gift cards and certificates are more helpful than large furniture and household donations (at least at this time-we'll keep you posted).

If you have any questions, please call our Skidaway store at 912-355-1950 or our Wilmington Island store at 912-897-5581.
