The board members of Hooktown Holidays are grateful for your continuing support that let us carry on our mission to provide nutritious food, warm clothing, and other necessities of life to children, families and other individuals in need in our community.

We are here because of your help. This is your charity, your way. We wish you a holiday season filled with love, peace and joy.

Friends,
I'm sure many of you saw this article in the Times Observer a few weeks ago. But, as the garage sale gets closer,  I want to share it again to emphasize what you do for your neighbors in need. Neighbors who you might never meet but who benefit from your extraordinary generosity.

Here is the link to the article:

It's easy and fun to get caught up in the idea of the "biggest, best garage sale ever!" That is for sure.  I think Lorri Drumm, the reporter who crafted the article, really honed in on the true essence of our sale and our mission. With the title "Powerful proceeds" it explains it two words what our major fundraiser of each year means to those we support. And what power you provide in order to continue that support.

We're are looking forward to a great sale, a fun time and to meeting all of you at the Sale. As you're enjoying shopping around for your treasures I hope you'll also feel the help, hope and positive energy YOU are providing to the community where you live.

A million thanks for  your support!

Friends. The Hooktown Holidays 6th Annual Garage Sale is just two weeks away. It is our major fund raiser for each year. This year's sale is the biggest one yet. The community has been extraordinarily generous in donating items. When we say, "You'll have to see it to believe it"!, we're not kidding. Here are some of the things you'll find:
Tools of all kinds and every description.
Children's toys. Many brand new.
Furniture in every shape and size. Some in complete sets...Living Room, Dining Room, Bedroom. And, an entire household of furniture was donated this year!
Clothing galore.
Large and small appliances.
Antiques and collectables of all kinds.
Craft and hobby supplies.
We've got several storage facilities already packed full and we are still receiving items almost everyday.
This promises to be the Garage Sale lover's dream sale. We'll have tents so it's Rain or Shine.
