Wendell Foster is holding their annual spring yard sale from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. this Friday and is asking for donated yard sale items from the community. The yard sale raises proceeds for the Wendell Foster Christmas Fund.
Wendell Foster is a local non-profit agency serving people with disabilities. The Christmas Fund ensures that every resident at Wendell Foster receives a few gifts during Christmas.
“The yard sale is our biggest fundraiser of the year for the residents’ Christmas presents,” said Jennifer Owsley, Director of Recreation at Wendell Foster. “Our spring and fall yard sales last year were a huge success thanks to community members who graciously donated items.”
All donations — except clothes and shoes — will be accepted. Large items such as decor and furniture are welcome. Donations can be dropped off at the Young Building, located at Wendell Foster’s campus on 815 Triplett St. in Owensboro.
Items will be accepted from Monday-Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Thursday from 12-4 p.m. April 28. For assistance unloading, call 270-683-4517.
“We not only appreciate the donations of items to sell, but also the people who come to the yard sale to purchase the items,” Owsley said. “The Christmas season truly wouldn’t be the same for our residents without the yard sale and those who support it.”
