Yard Sale Success!

Sorry it took us so long to post but the Try Change Charity Yard Sale was a big success! We raised over $300 for Volunteers of America Chesapeake and donated two loads of household items and clothes to the shelter! We were afraid that no one would show up because of the threat of rain but people were actually there before we had even finished unloading. Thank you to everyone that had a word with their connections about the rain issue :-)

Thank you to our friends, family, co-workers and neighbors for supporting our efforts! It was just amazing the amount of donations we received. Special thanks to Rose & David for all of the help! We never could have done it without you.

Just a reminder that all of this was in support of Volunteers of America Chesapeake. We encourage all of our readers to visit their website and learn about what VOA Chesapeake is doing in our area and what VOA as a whole is doing across the country. We have chosen to support this charity for many reasons but one of which is their many programs and direct involvement in the communities they support. With the recession and the deep decline in the housing market effecting every one, there is even more reason to support VOA and their programs. Homelessness and drug abuse effects the entire community not just individuals. Each of us truly can make a difference!

Thank you again to every one for the support!
