But perhaps you heave a heavy sigh, because the pile of stuff that has accumulated over the years in your garage has muscled out your car. I know, I feel your pain, it is one of those chores that just never seems to move to the top of the to-do list.
But it is a good weekend to tackle the job, because once you have made your “donation” pile, you can bring it to the second donation day for the Ladies Board of Inova Loudoun Hospital next Saturday, August 14 from 7 am to 7 pm at the Inova Loudoun Hospital, 44045 Riverside Parkway, Leesburg, just across Highway 7 from Belmont.
All donations received will be offered for sale at the 72nd Annual Ladies Board Rummage Sale on October 15th – 16th. Tax receipts are provided and all the money raised goes to support Ladies Board projects in the community. The Ladies Board raises several hundred thousand dollars each year toward special needs equipment at Inova Loudoun Hospital and awards more than $100,000 in nursing scholarships each year.
The sale accepts furniture, clothing, books, household items, linens, lamps, sports equipment, etc., but some items cannot be accepted such as mattresses or large appliances. For more information on what can be accepted or not, please call 703-771-2985.
If you can’t make it next Saturday, you can also donate your items to the Good Shepherd Alliance who provides help and hope for the homeless. You can donate during their store hours from Monday to Saturday from 10 am – 6 pm at 20684 Ashburn Road. It is very close to Belmont, just head on Gloucester Pkwy, make a right on Ashburn Road and it is about a mile down on the left (near the fire station).
Just remember once you have finished the job, it will feel so good to drive your car into your garage and seal it up for the night!
