MOVING? CLEANING UP?
HELP SUPPORT SISTERHOOD, TOO!
You will get a tax donation form and Sisterhood gets a percentage of the earnings thanks to our Sisterhood member, Lori Siegel, the owner of the resale shop "A Lotta Stuff at Stan's."
Items should be in the garage boxed and ready to go. If necessary she can help clean out and remove usable items from your home for a reasonable charge. Lori can use almost any item as long as it is not ripped, stained, broken, and still has some usefulness.
Covid safety guidelines are followed. Please mention Sisterhood!
To arrange a pick-up, please call Lori's cell, 816-668-3960, or
A Lotta Stuff at Stan's 913-299-2939
