Garage Sales for A Cause – Please Read!

Happy Tuesday peeps!  Feels like a Monday, but won’t that be great when Friday rolls along so quickly :)  I love that about a holiday weekend, you get a long weekend and a short work week!  Bonus.

Today I’m giving a quick PSA for one of my favorite causes in KC, Chain of Hope.  Chain of Hope is an AWESOME organization that helps care for abused and neglected dogs in the urban core of KC.  They provide food, shelter, and other essentials for dogs and other animals that are often left on chains with no way to access these basic necessities.  I know… breaks my heart.  Often times Chain of Hope will assume ownership of the dog if the owner allows it.  If not, they try to educate the owners on the basic needs of their pets so they are properly cared for.  Will you just look at this poor baby that needs someone to love him?  Left out on a heavy chain in the freezing cold winter!  What is with some people?  Ugh I can’t deal.

There are two fantastic events coming up where you can help support COH! 

Chain of Hope Garage Sale, September 23-24

Corporate Woods Employee Garage Sale, First Week of October

If you have stuff sitting around waiting to go to Goodwill, please consider donating it to Chain of Hope.  Your donated stuff will go into the September sale and proceeds will help keep needy animals warm and fed this winter.  Come on, you know you want to help a poor puppy in need! 

Chain of Hope Garage Sale Drop Off Info:  All donations can be dropped off to 8716 E. 79th Terr. Raytown, MO 64138.  Drop off times are Monday September 12th from 4:30-8pm and Monday September 19th from 4:30-8pm.  If needed, you can email garage sale coordinator Britney to coordinate, britneykaye11@yahoo.com

Secondly, the employees of Corporate Woods hold a garage sale the first week in October.  This year, they chose to give their proceeds to Chain of Hope… yippee!  Visit Corporate Woods during the first week of October to scout for deals and support COH.

Thanks for this post!
I have such a soft spot for abused dogs.
I will put the Corporate Woods sale on my calendar for sure since it's close to my house (Olathe)
