We have been so blessed by countless people giving toward the sale and we are humbled by people in their support and now that the sale is a week away, we are really feeling the crunch.
PLEASE come help us and be part of the fun! I really think this is going to be a blast!
Here's what we need help with:
Sale Information - Make sure you see the AUGUST 21st DATE.
1. Volunteers to come help at the sale
- We need help pricing and sorting on Thursday (08/19) evening. If you can come anytime after dinnertime, that would be awesome!!
- Friday evening (after 6 pm) we will be moving all of the inventory from our house to the location of the sale. Thankfully it is only about a mile away, but we will need some good trucks and some bodies to help move the items & getting the tables ready to set up for Saturday morning.
- We need help setting up Saturday Morning early, like at 5 am. We'll be up early setting up tables and laying out the merch (we have to pull everything out of boxes and lay it out to be displayed. This is a huge job, so if you can come help with this, even for a little bit before you head off to work that morning, that would be UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME! Our sale starts at 8 a.m. so anytime before that that you can come help... we'll be here working and would love an extra set of hands to help! And helping set-up means you get first dibs on all the awesome stuff we have to sell!
- We need extra bodies throughout the course of the sale. Can you come hang out on Saturday for a while? With a big sale, and lots of shoppers, it seems like there is always something that needs to be done, or someone that needs help. This is one of the easier jobs, but just as important!
- We need help tearing down Saturday evening! The plan is to coordinate a pick-up for all the leftover stuff at the end of the sale, but we'll need to get it all off the tables and boxed back up. Again, a big job that requires lots of hands.
* For the items we don't sell (depending on how much) we will be transporting it back to our garage and selling via Craigslist or having a smaller garage sale over the course of the next two weekends at our house. Whitworth University begins that next week, so hopefully some ridiculously rich parents will come by our house and want to help with our adoption by purchasing garage sale items for their new freshman students. :)
And you can be there to witness us tallying up the grand total and then doing our happy dance!
2. WE NEED CANOPIES
- We have lots of stuff to sell, and we need lots of tables to display it all. Folding tables, card tables, saw horses and ladders with wood to lay across them... If you can help us out by lending us any of these items, again, it would be AWESOME!
- The weather looks like it is going to be good. Let's hope it isn't the 2nd day of rain we will have seen in the last 60 days.
4. Spreading the Word
- Tell your friends!
- Email people you know!
- Facebook and Tweet about it! Just link to this post.
- And pick up some flyers from us and post them where you work, or in your neighborhood, or hand them out to people!
5. PRAYER - We would love to have this fundraiser covered in prayer. That might sound cheesy to you, but it is not. Would you please join us in praying for this next yard sale? We need prayer for...
- Lots of traffic (shoppers, shoppers, shoppers)
- Plenty of help
- Health and energy for all of us working the sale
- God to move in a MIGHTY way again through this fundraiser!
Please email (dhgreenup@gmail.com) O call us and let us know if you can help!!
Thank you all for your support and encouragement! What would we do without you all?? We love ya!
