Last year we netted over 10k to benefit the Tabor House AIDS residences in Hartford. Also benefiting greatly were the immigrant and poor residents of the neighborhood who needed to find inexpensive items. This gargantuan effort was pulled off with over 250 volunteers and numerous donors.
Anyone looking to donate or volunteer should contact David at 860-523-9136, dtdyson@comcast.net or Loretta at 860-563-9217.
They are accepting donations for the tag sale but ask that you do not donate books, clothing, large furniture or computers. Donation drop off times are from July 13th to the 15th. Call David for more information.
