Six enthusiastic shoppers, one additional fearless leader with SUV, eight packed carts, one intrepid checker, two willing stock clerks and $2200.00 all came together this past Tuesday evening to support the second "No Sale, Garage Sale" hosted by St. Phillips Episcopal Church in Joplin, MO.
In one hour, we stuffed carts with toasters, vacuum cleaners, crock pots, dishes, kitchen supplies, towels, sheets, blankets, shoes, winter coats, sleepers, mittens, hats and whatever else looked like useful items for the Joplin tornado victims.
Walmart graciously gave us 10% off and we came in under budget! We purchased 200 items and I think John Biggs looks like a beauty pageant winner in this photo.
Thank God for willing hands and loving hearts.
