Wendell Foster is hosting its spring yard sale on Thursday, May 14th from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm, and Friday, May 15th from 7:00 am until 12:00 pm. The yard sale, a bi-yearly event at the campus organized by the Recreation Department, raises proceeds to purchase Christmas and birthday gifts for Wendell Foster residents.
Wendell Foster’s Director of Recreation, Jennifer Owsley-Midkiff, said the sale is in need of donated items from the community. “This sale wouldn’t be possible without generous community members who donate their gently-used items. Our yard sale is known for having a wide variety of unique items, such as large furniture, decor, and appliances. We also welcome donations of durable medical equipment.”
All donations, except clothes and shoes, will be accepted. Donations can be dropped off at the Young Building, located at Wendell Foster’s campus at 815 Triplett Street in Owensboro. Items will be accepted May 12th and 13th from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, and May 14th from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm.
Owsley-Midkiff said the sale supports a meaningful cause. “Each year, the community support of our yard sales allow us to make birthdays and the holiday season special for our residents. We’re grateful for each person who comes out and shops to benefit Wendell Foster!”
Lunch will also be available for purchase at the yard sale on May 15th. Shoppers can purchase a cheeseburger or a hot dog, along with chips, a cookie, and a bottle of water for $7. Proceeds from lunch will also benefit the Christmas and birthday fund.
