Bedford Hills Shop Featured in Tuesday's Wall Street Journal
The charity shop, which donates proceeds from its sales to local community organizations, is known even outside of town.
Open up Tuesday's Wall Street Journal and you'll see a familiar face—that of Bedford Hills business owner, Pam Stone, proprieter of The Benefit Shop on Bedford Road. Stone was featured as today's "Donor of the Day."
The Benefit Shop's tagline is "donate, discover, do good." Since opening in January, Stone has been able to contribute about $75,000 to worthy causes from the proceeds of the shop, including Northern Westchester Hospital and local children's, pet and health causes, reports the WSJ.
The Journal story describes the eclectic array of merchandise Stone finds, mostly through estate sales, as "household and decorative items, stacked deep and high." Recent acquisitions for sale include an autographed photo of golfer Arnold Palmer, Limoges porcelain dishes and Baccarat crystal stemware.
