Indianapolis weekend events: Furniture sale, Mutt Strut, MC Lyte and more
If you're looking for furniture and home goods but don't want to break the bank, check out Diversion's warehouse sale this weekend.
Why it matters: You'll be supporting a good cause.
How it works: Diversion is a nonprofit that collects high-quality furniture from partnering designers and individuals and uses the items to help those who have recently secured housing furnish their new home.
Eligible individuals are allowed to shop the warehouse and pick whatever items they need at no cost.
According to Diversion's website, the organization has helped more than 1,300 people.
Where the public comes in: Once a month, Diversion opens its warehouse to the public with pieces priced at significant discounts to make space for future items and raise money.
💭 Lindsey's thought bubble: I went to the March sale and was impressed with the selection.
I left with a globe, dessert tray and piece of home decor. Two items didn't have prices marked, and I was told to pay whatever I wanted to donate for them.
It was shopping that made me feel good.
If you go: 10am-1pm Saturday, 1625 Southeastern Ave.
