OWENSBORO, KENTUCKY – Wendell Foster, a local non-profit agency serving people with disabilities, is holding a yard sale on Friday, October 13 from 7:00 am until 12:00 pm and is asking for donated yard sale items from the community. The yard sale, a bi-yearly event at the campus, raises proceeds for the Wendell Foster Christmas Fund. The Christmas Fund ensures that every resident at Wendell Foster receives a few gifts during Christmas.

“The yard sales are the biggest fundraisers of the year for the residents’ Christmas presents,” explained Jennifer Owsley-Midkiff, Director of Recreation at Wendell Foster. “Our spring sale this year was a huge success thanks to community members who graciously donated items. We are excited to bring the yard sale back this fall!”

All donations, except clothes and shoes, will be accepted. Large items such as decor and furniture are welcome. Donations can be dropped off at the Young Building, located at Wendell Foster’s campus on 815 Triplett St. in Owensboro. Items will be accepted October 10 to October 12, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm each day. For assistance in unloading, call (270) 683-4517.

“We not only appreciate the donations of items to sell, but also the people who come to the yard sale to purchase the items,” said Owsley-Midkiff. “The Christmas season truly wouldn’t be the same for our residents without the yard sale and those who support it.”
