dyk meanwhile, I find it curious with our garage sale that we don't have very many "large" items, like carseats, baby stuff, (other than a stroller) and furniture
dyk I am not sure what that'll mean for proceeds but it always is more than we expect to make!
dyk we have several programs in our county -- one is a once a year event called Dream Coats 4 Kids
dyk the other is weekly -- the Backpack program for homeless and low income children they get a backpack each Friday to take home and it has food for the weekend and they bring it back Monday
dyk I have almost 30 backpacks in my car and 20 more being dropped off in the next few days to donate to the program
