Saturday, November 19, 2005 - WASHINGTON, D.C. -- HOHF is organizing a Fall Yard Sale to provide
much needed housing items for those medical hold patients of OIF and OEF whom have been indefinitely
relocated to the Washington, DC area. Volunteers are needed to collect donated items and assist
with the sale.
Volunteers will collect gently used and clean (this is NOT a garbage collection) items such as
bakeware, pots and pans, flatware, everyday plates, cups, mugs, furniture (must be easily transported
on pick-up trucks as we will have to help arrange delivery), rugs, vacuums, landline telephones,
irons, ironing boards, blankets, sheets, towels, etc.
Items can be dropped off the day before the event (Friday) and the sale will take place on a Saturday. Donations
will be accepted on Friday, November 18, from noon until 9 p.m. at the following location:
Church of Christ
4801 16th Street, NW
Washington, DC 20011
Patients will be asked to register to attend the event and will each be given an equal amount
of play money per patient to shop with. Items will be priced by category in order to make
the selection process fair and everyone able to go away with something that they need.
Volunteers will be needed for the Friday evening prior to the sale to price and organize
items as they are delivered. Sale day volunteers will organize the sale, assist with arranging
local delivery, and assist with take down and clean up.
