It's that time of year again! Rummage To Cure sales benefiting the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation are gearing up and we need your treasures! Over the last several years an incredible $20,000+ has been raised for theGSF in rummage sales alone thanks to YOU. Your fabulous items have not only gone to happy new homes, they have helped us in our mission to END SMA!
You can help make a BIG difference by donating just ONE or TWO gently used "good" items to Rummage To Cure. Redecorating? Let us take last year's decor off your hands. No longer using that bike? Dust it off and let it find a new home with us. All those toys, clothing, and equipment that baby has outgrown? Help them bring in dollars to change the future of SMA. AND... you can help your items multiply by sharing this with your neighbors, mom's groups, and friends. The best items to donate are those that are in good condition -- items you would buy. We are also collecting crafts and handmade goodies too. So, if you sew, knit, make jewelry, etc., your craftiness can be part of ending SMA!
