When deciding what to donate, please consider donating DESIRABLE, not junky items. Please make sure clothing is not soiled, ripped, holey, etc… and that items are in working order. ;)

You may ask, “can I price my own items?” YOU BET!! That would actually be quite helpful. Feel free to price all of your items or just a few. It is not mandatory to price anything however. When pricing, just remember garage sale prices. No need to price clothing unless you are packaging a complete outfit or donating coats.

Thursday, April 2nd from 4:30-9pm at Summitview- Park on the west side of the building where the pull through driveway is. Go through the west gym doors and leave items in the Coffee shop. Someone will be there to assist. Please do not use any other door leading to gym as AWANA will be going on that evening.

Friday, April 3rd from 7:15am-3pm-bring items directly to the gym (sale starts at 5, so the earlier the better)
