Essexville, MI. (10/15/13) "The Cat's Meow," a training program of Do-All, Inc., announced today that it has begun work to expand its Essexville location. The program offers training and employment opportunities in all aspects of retail including; cashier, stocking, merchandising displays, along with shipping and receiving.

"With Habitat for Humanity's decision to move to the former Dunlop property we wanted to expand our current use of the building to create more opportunities for those we serve." said Chris Girard, President / CEO of Do-All, Inc. "Our service delivery model demonstrates what people can do when provided opportunities regardless of barriers in their lives. Our ultimate goal is to not have to provide specialized work opportunities because employers value the level of talent of the individuals we support and are directly hiring those we serve."

Do-All started their retail division to expand the type of vocational offerings and opened The Cat's Meow in August of 2006. Since then the store has flourished with the generosity of the community making it one of the most visited Resale shops in the community. In addition to providing opportunities for retail training, the store also has a one of a kind Branch partnership with Financial Edge Credit Union called Do-Save.

The program offerings are truly committed to making our community a better place to live. Store hours are Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm and Saturday 11am-3pm. With donation drop off only available on Sunday 12pm-3pm.
