Alternative Free Garage Sale-Plan B
As with most things in 2020, we have had to regroup and get creative. We were not able to do our Annual Free Garage Sale in April due to COVID restrictions but Shannon Taylor has come up with a great alternative solution to help us de-clutter and enrich the lives of others in need.
During the holidays, use your extra time to clean out your closets, garages and attics. We will be donating our items this year to Arms of Hope, a not-for-profit Christian care organization that assists children and single-mother families in need. For more information, visit armsofhope.org/
Bring your clean, undamaged clothing, toys and household items to the Family Life Center on Wednesday January 13- Friday January 15 from 10am-1pm or Friday January 15 from 5-7pm. Items must be bagged or boxed. No large appliances or mattresses will be accepted. Masks required. Arms of Hope will collect our donations on Saturday, January 16th.
Volunteers are need to accept donations at the above listed days and times. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Jayme Bryson at 512-539-8972.
