Community Investors Inc.

Looking for ways to donate furniture to charity? The CII’s Blessings Store & More is one of the charities that take furniture with tax deduction.

CII’s Blessings Store is a program of Community Investors Incorporated. Our new in-stock or specialty order items give 100% of all net proceeds back to our community programs.

Why shop and pay more when you can spend less? Your support helps Community Investors to serve individuals and families who are in need. The Blessings Store can be a hand up for people in cases such as loss of employment, crisis or tragedy such as a house fire, or another emergency that brings folks to us who are in true despair. The proceeds from CII’s Blessing Store provide Community Investors with the much-needed funding to assist these individuals, as well as continue to provide programs throughout the Acadiana/Louisiana area.

Mission

The CII’s Blessings Store is a resource center serving individuals and families who are in need. We work on selling new, recycled, and specialty furniture plus other items to assist in rebuilding lives within Acadiana and South Louisiana. We are a Fee for Service Program, which gives 100% of all net proceeds back to the community. Your donations can also be included for a charity tax deduction.
