Another successful OC Transpo Unclaimed Items Sale!

Thanks so much to the 46 volunteers who gave the gift of their time to work at the OC Transpo Unclaimed Items Sale on Saturday, November 5, 2016. The bargain hunters arrived as early as 8:00 am to be first in line for the start of the sale at 12:00 pm. Shoppers were treated to a feast of fantastic bargains on cellphones, tablets, instruments, jewellery, clothing, sports equipment, backpacks, gift cards, umbrellas, winter wear and the list goes on!

In less than two hours we raised a remarkable $6,580.65 to support the work of Heartwood House and its community of non-profit and charitable organizations. Left over items such as reading glasses and winter wear have found new homes at the Mission and with other charities. 

We are very grateful to OC Transpo for its support of the Unclaimed Items Sales. Good things happen when we work together!
