HELP WANTED :)

Do you want to support our work in the All for 1 Community Sale? We are specifically looking for volunteers to help transfer items from the trailer and other storage areas to areas within the church. Rooms will be organized based on categories such as household items, women's clothing, baby/children needs, collectibles, books/DVDs/CDs and others. The work will begin on Wednesday of this week and continue until the day after the sale. We need volunteers to work the day of the sale by assisting and checking out shoppers. After the sale concludes, we will need volunteers to help with clean up and boxing up of the remainders so that the charity truck can pick it up. However, a HUGE need RIGHT NOW are people with trucks willing to pick up larger furniture pieces to sell at our event. If you feel led to volunteer, please contact Liz or me at Murphyzil@verizon.net or beth.samec@gmail.com.

One more week until the opening of our

All for 1 Community Sale!!!

I stopped by the trailer to drop off some newly donated items…wow! It is organized, packed and filled with items that are sure to fulfill the needs of shoppers! Some of the items I saw there yesterday:

Homecoming dresses
Halloween costumes and decoration
Oil paintings
Brand new still in the package toys, DVDs, household items, hardware items & school supplies
Decorative items, including some neat ones for Dallas Cowboys & Colt fans J
Small furniture items*

*We have promises for larger furniture items for the sale. We have asked donors to wait to drop off or arrange for pickup closer to the sale date due to the limited space. Last year we had an entryway bench, kitchen table and chairs, bookshelves, coffee tables and other useful items. I am dropping off another load of donations today, including brand new holiday decorations and scrapbooking supplies! Tell your friends and family to shop the All for 1 Community Sale!! Remember, to check our donation hours if you have something you would like to donate. We also provide a receipt for your donationJ.

Great items being donated, sorted & displayed every day!

Wow!! We are just amazed at the generosity of the Prince of Peace community. The trailer donated by Interstate Van Lines of Springfield is filled with treasures of all kinds! There are clothes with the tags still attached, suits in dry cleaning bags, decorative items brought back from international travels, tools, furniture and even a great selection of "smalls" like jewelry. There is something for everyone. We even have an entire storage area of holiday items for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Please spread the word about this incredible event (even the pets will be happy based on the box of gently used and brand new leashes, toys and doggie sweaters)!
