Listowel Baptist Church Gives Back

Listowel Baptist Church collected record proceeds at their annual May long weekend garage sale. Throughout the previous year slightly used goods from individuals, businesses, estates and those just downsizing were collected and processed by volunteers.  Good weather during the sale allowed large numbers to find their favourite bargains and the proceeds are now being used to help others here in Listowel and around the globe. Funds will be used by various organizations in Listowel. This year’s garage sale brought in a whopping $29,819.19!  

Debbie Loree, chair of the Garage Sale Committee said, “We live in a great community and we want to show this community we care about it.” Listowel Memorial Hospital Foundation will use their donation of $7,454.80 towards the upcoming CKNX Healthcare Heroes Radiothon, Listowel equipment project.  This year’s LMHF Radiothon equipment project is an ‘OR bundle of equipment’ for the operating room at LMH. The Committee has started processing and storing treasures for next year’s sale.
