We had a garage sale for a fundraiser. Here is some information on how it went and how blessed we were.
Garage Sale by the NUMBERS:
2 days
14 hours worked
15 volunteers
15 families donated
2 tucks loads donated to Salvation Army
1 load to the dumpster
(Even Salvation Army doesn’t want something’s)
$1550 Raised
We had it in ACF church’s parking lot, were able to store all the stuff in the church and used their tables and grill. Along with the garage sale we sold homemade baked goods(made by several church members), hotdogs, chips and drinks. We had a table setup with all our World Race info explaining the mission, a support jar, and selling our rubber bracelets and threads of hope. We gave out business cards to all the shoppers. If you are one of the shoppers and found your way onto our blog thank you so much for coming out and for looking at our blog. Look around the blog, check out our 'About Us' page, and feel free to contact us.
Although, it was exhausting (it got up to 80 degrees, hottest we’ve experienced in Alaska) God supplied us with the energy needed and good rest between the days. We had a blast hanging out with friends throughout the day, telling the community about the World Race and that we love Jesus, eating delicious goodies, and blessing others with clothes/appliances/books/etc. for very cheap.
Sorry it's so shaky, i'm just starting with video/editing. I'll get better
