Gift for Life’s Home vs. Hunger team will host its Party with a Purpose from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 21, at the Eichholtz showroom, 129 S. Hamilton St. in High Point. All proceeds will benefit World Central Kitchen’s crisis-related hunger relief efforts.
“Party with a Purpose is the home and accessory industry’s way to help support World Central Kitchen and the amazing work they do,” said Russ Jones, chair of Home vs. Hunger. “This April will be our second Home vs. Hunger event, and we are thrilled that Eichholtz once again generously is hosting the event. We hope that marketgoers will come by, have a drink and a bite, and donate to help us feed the hungry. Feel the good!”
To RSVP, email homevshunger@gmail.com. Donations from members of the home industry are being accepted at https://donate.wck.org/HomeVsHunger23.
In partnership with home industry and market leaders, Gift for Life debuted its Home vs. Hunger initiative at High Point Market in October 2022. An in-person event then and an online campaign in February following devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria together have raised nearly $28,000 for World Central Kitchen.
“We are excited by the momentum created by the Home vs. Hunger launch at High Point Market,” said Ari Lowenstein, chair of Gift for Life. “High Point is the most important gathering of buyers and sellers for home furnishings and accessories. The Home vs. Hunger team created a visible and tangible way for industry members to connect and combine resources to make a difference in the world. We are humbled by the home industry’s support and generosity and look forward to all that we can accomplish together in the future.”
Home vs. Hunger team members include Sharon Davis, ART; Jen Dolan, Arteriors; Jenny Heinzen York, Currey & Company; Jonathan Cochran, Eichholtz; Chris Amos, International Market Centers; Mark Furlet, IMC; Monica Loving, Ivystone; Russ Jones, Ivystone; Douglas Self, J.
