PRESS RELEASE
Oreck Clean Home
Centers in NC & SC to Sponsor Fundraiser for The Healing Place.
Called ‘A Night of
Giving’, the Fundraiser is Wed., Nov. 28th, from 6-7pm.
The Healing Place of Raleigh in Wake County is a
non-profit organization serving homeless addicts through an emergency
shelter and recovery program.
Oreck, home of the famous 8 LB Oreck Upright, continues its charitable
contributions in the communities served by Oreck Clean Home Centers.
Oreck’s twelve North and South Carolina stores will hold a Night of
Giving on November 28th, 2007 to raise funds for The Healing Place of
Wake County located in Raleigh NC. Between 6 and 7 PM on Wednesday, Nov.
28th, Oreck will donate 10% of sales to The Healing Place, a non-profit
recovery and rehabilitation facility for homeless people with alcohol
and drug dependency.
Oreck manufactures the popular 8-lb. Oreck Upright Vacuum, Floor
Machines and Steemers, state-of-the-art Air Purifiers and outstanding
household cleansers. There are over 475 Oreck Clean Home Centers
nationwide. The two Oreck Clean Home Centers in the Raleigh area are at
Crossroads Plaza, 245 Crossroads Blvd in Cary and at Brier Creek
Commons, 8321 Brier Creek Pkwy in Raleigh.
Oreck is a family owned business and was the first company to reopen a
national headquarters in New Orleans after the devastation of Hurricane
Katrina. Named Heroes of Katrina in 2005 by CNN, the Oreck family has a
tradition of giving back to the community through charitable work with
local non-profits such as The Healing Place as well as charities with a
national scope including the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Oreck selected The Healing Place, in part, for the non-profits success
in reducing homelessness and the devastating impacts of addiction. The
recovery and rehabilitation program at The Healing Place is focused on
“Helping People Find Their Way Back” as they become contributing members
of society. The program has demonstrated an extremely high success rate
with approximately 70 percent of their clients still sober a year after
graduation.
