Don’t forget to start gathering your items to give away at the free market. In the past, we have given away everything from baby items, furniture, toys, books, clothing and anything else in really good shape that you are willing to part with. This is not a garage sale. Everything is free.
If you have not participated before, you will find this to be a day that you will receive more of a blessing than those you give items to. Mark your calendar for August 10th at 9 am and bring your trunk full of items to share.
It is time to start collecting school supplies for our community backpack giveaway at the Free Market on Saturday, August 10th. Last year we collected enough supplies to provide over 150 filled backpacks for our community. This really blesses the children in our area when they have a brand new backpack and the supplies they need to start school. All Donations are Due Back by August 2nd! Place your donations in the collection bins near the Connection Center.

- Wide Ruled Notebook paper
