Spring cleaning? Donate your items now Fort Scott PresbyterianVillage’s annual auction
Now that it’s warming up outside, it’s time to think about spring cleaning. As you identify the things you no longer need, consider donating those items to the annual Fort Scott Presbyterian Village fundraiser. “You may look at it and see junk, but your neighbors may look at it and see a treasure in the form of a collectible, a useful tool or the start to a new hobby,” said Executive Director Ginger Nance.
Stop by 2401 S. Horton during regular business hours, as well as evenings and weekends, to drop off your donation. For pick-up and delivery of heavy items, call 620-223-5550 to make arrangements.
The Annual Dinner and Auction will be May 17.
“Used hobby items are always popular at the auction, such as a golf cart or clubs you no longer use, fishing tackle, that boat that’s been sitting out back untouched for a few years, knickknacks and even some of those farm equipment pieces you don’t use anymore, such as a tractor, hay equipment and shop items,” Nance said. “The possibilities are endless, and everything will go at the auction, including that vintage jewelry you haven’t worn in years and the furniture pieces you plan to replace with your income tax return.”
Items do not have to be old. New items are appreciated as well. Do you have a vehicle or a four-wheeler that you haven’t driven in months or years? Consider furthering the mission of the Presbyterian Village and helping a person in need with your donation. All items donated for our auction are tax deductible.
Presbyterian Village’s annual dinner and auction will take place on May 17. Proceeds stay local and go to the Village’s Good Samaritan Program, which helps seniors who have outlived their financial resources through no fault of their own.
