The Dauphin Neighbourhood Renewal Corporation's garage sale is fast approaching.
It is set for October 22nd to 26th inside their Community Centre on 3rd Avenue Northwest,
Donations of items are now being accepted, and DNRC Executive Director Amanda Novak says the response so far has been great.
"We are accepting lightly and gently used items. No clothing, but gently used items from your garage or your home - utensils, kitchen stuff, items like that. And we are accepting donations until October 16th. So if you are in your garage or your shed or you are cleaning your kitchen and if you have items that you would like to donate, because all of the proceeds (from the garage sale) will be going to the Dauphin Food Bank."
Novak says having a facility like that is a huge benefit for their organization.
"At one time we did hold the meal program there and we were able to serve a lot of meals to those in need. Now, we are focused on building capacity in other organizations that are doing that. So that is why we are helping the food bank. Their numbers are skyrocketing and we want to support them and their cause as much as possible."
Donations can be dropped off at the DNRC office.
