By the way:

Welcome to the new ebay storefront for The Shepherd's Center of Winston-Salem. The store will be operated by experienced ebay sellers who have been selling some of our best donations for several years now through their own storefronts. Now we are using these same experienced sellers to sell to you directly.

For the philanthropists out there, the vast majority of the items sold by us (Gutenberg Reads and others), are for the benefit of The Shepherd's Center of Greater Winston-Salem, whose mission is to help house-bound seniors live full and independent lives in their own homes.

The center provides transportation to medical appointments and grocery shopping, assistance with minor repairs around the house, and companionship through visits.

The citizens of Winston-Salem generously donate books, music, movies, and more to us to help us achieve our mission.

And now, you can buy useful items from us directly, and you will be helping the less fortunate in our city.
