Faith Lutheran Chapel to host annual yard sale
PICKENS — The seventh annual yard sale of Faith Lutheran Chapel will be held [cointent_lockedcontent] Oct. 23-24 from 7 a..m. to 2 p.m. All proceeds from the sale will go to local charities.
Household items, clothing, craft items, books, furniture, holiday items and baked goods will be sold. Utilizing supplemental funds from Thrivent Financial, every dollar spent will provide $1.50 to the Gleaning House to purchase needed food for Pickens residents.
With a great many reasonably priced items and support from frugal area shoppers, the yard sale that began as a means of allowing a small, beginning church to help feed the hungry of Pickens now can financially help several other area groups.
The church is located at 729 W. Main St. across from Blue Ridge Co-op. [/cointent_lockedcontent]
