It’s time to sign up to help with the upcoming yard sale!! Remember, the yard sales are OW’s ONLY fundraiser. Help is needed from set-up on April 17th through clean-up on April 20th, at Mechanicsburg Brethren in Christ Church (www.mcbic.org). We need the most help with set-up and clean-up. So, if you can only give a few hours please consider helping during those times! Please commit to help ASAP! While no help will be turned away no matter how late the hour, your early sign-up gives us a better idea where and when we have gaps in the schedule. This is a great opportunity if you/your child are in need of service hours! Locations: McBic is located at 1050 S. York Street. Warehouse is located at 507 N. York Street. Please read the descriptions on the TTSU and then sign-up under the appropriate column. * For specific questions, contact: Maureen Ross, mmross4@comcast.net or 717-773-1988

If we are going to continue holding the Yard Sale, we need help year round. It takes many hands to receive donations, organize, sort, price and skid the donations. All that the volunteer needs to do is accept donations at the warehouse. Instructions on what OW takes and where to place the donations will be posted at the warehouse, as will contact information for any questions. Students are welcomed! NOTE: In case of inclement weather the warehouse will be closed. Warehouse is located at 507 N. York Street, Mechanicsburg, 17055. Turn on to Pleasant View Drive - 1st left into parking lot to Dock Door 1.

Questions – call or email Maureen at 717-773-1988. The twice-yearly Yard Sales are OW’s only fundraiser – it can only continue with your help.

Volunteers are needed to assist with the pick-up/drop-off of furniture items in the District. All items for pick up are either left outside or are in the garage - no heavy lifting up/downstairs!

For deliveries - all items are delivered to the families' doorstep.

There are no set days'/times to help - we work around the volunteers' and the families' schedules.

For more information, or if you have any questions, please contact Kaleb Dissinger at t34foru@yahoo.com.
