Hello Again Everyone!
First off, I can't thank enough all the great member of this team for the gaggle of hours each member put in to make today's yard sale a success (I know "gaggle" only get's used with "geese", but we're gonna roll with it). Seriously though, some of our many volunteers spent more than 12 hours between Friday night and Saturday morning unloading donated items, sorting everything that was deposited, pricing, selling, lugging around stuff, etc.... We couldn't have done it without everyone's hard work.
Secondly, THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED!!! You showed up by the truck loads (literally), and you gave us some fantastic used (and some new) clothes, appliances, kitchenware, furniture, and even a wood chipper. Our cafe and sanctuary were littered with an inventory to rival Target. Thank you again.
With that said, I can now proudly say that because of all the hard work of everyone involved, we raised.........$1,600 (ish) Dollars!!! This is truly amazing and all I can think to type is "Thank You" again and again. All of the remaining items were donated to one of local charities, so everything donated still went to a great cause.
But enough talk from me, how about some pictures!
Until next time......

Mkhombokati
The Mhkombokati CarePoint serves approximately 200 children, many of whom are orphans and specifically rely on the CarePoint for food. Over the years, several short-term mission teams from Capital have traveled to Mkhombokati, bringing thousands of pounds of supplies and bringing back knowledge – learning from the children and adults on the ground what their needs truly are and how we can help them most effectively.
