TRASH & TREASURE SALE COLLECTION

The 2016 Trash and Treasure will be on August 26.

We hope you are saving your Treasures for the sale. The community looks forward to this event. We do hope you can wait until the week of the sale to bring your items, so they do not have to be moved twice. We do have limited space for storage but that needs to be held for sources outside the church. Drop off your items Monday through Friday, from 9-5, August 21-25.

PLEASE, NO…
…old TV’s-No Tubes
…old Computers, Monitors, and Printers
…old Self-Help Books and Old Coffee Table Books (We still accept Fiction, Children’s Books and Cookbooks)
…old large Entertainment Centers.

Please make sure appliances are in working order and that your items are clean and in good condition.

Thank you for your help in making this such a success.
