Hospice House holds garage sale fundraiser

Apr 11, 2022 | 5:00 PM

As people take part in spring cleaning around their homes, the North Okanagan Hospice Society (NOHS) is providing a way to get rid of all the stuff that’s built-up over the last year, while at the same time, supporting essential programs in the community.

The society has announced plans for a Spring Cleaning Garage Sale fundraiser on Saturday, April 30 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., providing space for people to sell their items in the hospice parking lot at 3506 27th Ave.

“We are encouraging the community to sign up for a table and get rid of their unwanted items while supporting Hospice to fundraise money for our essential programs and services,” said Lisa Matthews, executive director of NOHS. “Participants can ask their neighbors to join in and share a table. There will be refreshments available, and we are looking forward to a fun day out!”

Tables are limited so booking a table will be on a first come first serve basis. For more information or to book a table, email info@nohs.ca with your name, phone number and email and you can reserve a table.

Vernon Home Building Centre is supporting the lead up to the event. Any donation you make with a purchase during the month of April, Vernon Home Building Centre will match your donation, up to $1,000.

“We thank Vernon Home Building Centre for their amazing support of this event. They are located at 4601 27th Street or you can visit their website at www.hbcvernon.ca,” said Matthews.

North Okanagan Hospice Society is a registered charity that operates a 12-bed palliative care facility in Vernon for residents of the North Okanagan.
