Mitrani at Home to hold two-day benefit event Mothers Day weekend
What customers buy their moms helps community moms

HARRISBURG, May 1 - Mitrani at Home, importer of home furniture and furnishings from afar, will be aiding local family-based organizations by holding a two-day event during which a full 10% of sales will be donated to each customer's choice of three organizations that help mothers take the best possible care of their families.

The beneficiaries of Mitrani at Home's charitable contributions will include JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE (JFS), PARENTWORKS and the YWCA.

The event is being held to promote awareness of family issues and publicly-available programs, specifically those available to Harrisburg-area mothers. Literature and representatives will be available at Mitrani at Home during the event to provide information and answer questions about the participating organizations.

A mother and philanthropist herself, owner and matriarch Donna Orbach has always been committed to positioning Mitrani at Home in playing a significant role in community service.

During the first day of the event, Saturday May 10 from 11am-7pm, Mitrani at Home staff will be directing sons and daughters to unique, hand-crafted gift items from all over the world truly worthy of mom's praise in Mitrani's expansive, two-story location on Route 22 in Harrisburg.  Specials and discounts on select merchandise will be offered for the duration of the event. Featured gift items include small-box items like jewelry and personal affects as well as a diverse offering of home furnishings that can't be found anywhere else in the area.

With each purchase, including gift certificates purchased the first day of the event, customers will be allowed to choose which of the three organizations receive the donation being offered as part of their purchase.

On the event's second day, Sunday May 11 from 12-5pm, a full onslaught of pampering will be offered to moms while they shop in the order of refreshments and salon-style services.

For those who say year after year "my mom has everything," and have trouble finding the perfect Mothers Day gift, Mitrani at Home claims to have this year's answer.  In fact, to those who think there is nothing their mothers do not already posses, Donna Orbach, owner, challenges, "nope—give us two days and we'll prove it."

Orbach confidently added, "We do this [event] every year and the one thing we can guarantee is if it's Mitrani, mom will love it.  We get thank-yous from shopping-challenged sons and daughters all the time.  What we have, you can't get anywhere else—we're sure it's one-of-a-kind."

Celebrate Mother Earth with eco-friendly furniture from ecollection

Mitrani at Home will be introducing a new furniture line ecollection, a fresh new look at green living (www.ecollectionhome.com).  ecollection is committed to designing earth-friendly, sustainable luxury furniture and, since they're taking care of Mother Earth, we're taking care of mothers here by offering this new line at special promotional prices for Mothers Day and through June 10.

Mitrani at Home is an importer of home furniture and furnishings from afar featuring one-of-a-kind, handmade, culturally influenced and eclectic individual pieces and lines. Mitrani at Home is located on Route 22 in Harrisburg.
