Former Consignment Shop to Become Center for Homeless Families

Starting in May, a community day center for homeless families will be coming to Rantoul Street, the Salem News is reporting.

Family Promise North Shore Boston is a network run by about 40 area churches, including Beverly's First Parish Unitarian Universalist, Immanuel Church, Church in the Cove, First Baptist, and Temple B'nai Abraham. 

At their new Beverly site, families will be able to bring their children, shower, and use the facility to job hunt and connect with government services, the outlet reports.

On their website, Family Promise North Shore Boston wrote "We still have lots to do before we can officially change our address and start receiving mail and working from that location but stay tuned. We’ll take all of our Facebook friends along for the ride as we make the changes to this space that will enable us to make changes in the lives of homeless families on the North Shore!"

The center will be located at 332 Rantoul St. in the former ReRun consignment shop, located next to Omelette Headquarters and Lisa's Pizza, Pasta and Paninis.

Back in December, we asked what readers would like to see in the then vacant storefront. Here's what they said.
