Garage Sale 2010

The Garage Sale Committee would like to give a sincere thank you to each and everyone of you who made it possible to raise money for orphans needing forever families. A big thank you to Steve Newman for use of the trailer! In addition, thanks for all the donations, countless hours of volunteers, flexibility and assistance from PCC staff, those who ran and donated to the bake sale, and use of equipment from outside churches.

It was amazing to see so many be the hands and feet of Jesus. We were able to witness others seeing a need and filling it, from feeding volunteers, buying more hangers, giving donations, borrowing tables, donating precious time setting the garage sale up and tearing it down, and helping to set the chairs back up. Many of you worked above and beyond what you originally planned and that was a blessing.

It would not have been possible without all of you! We were able to raise almost $8000 to go towards PCC families adopting. We look forward to this being an annual event and being able to partner with you next year! Save any donations for next year's garage sale. We will be creating a larger Garage Sale Committee in January, so stay tuned!!! Remember....those on the Committee get to buy first....
