What do you do with items that haven't sold at the conclusion of your 'garage sale?'

Kelly G. has the answer,  "You donate them to Tent City 3." Kelly donated an SUV load of clothing, bedding, towels, sheets, shoes, purses, backpacks and all kinds of 'adult' items. She is seen here in this photo delivering them to Cindy Roat, President of 'Greater Seattle Cares', a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that supports Tent City 3.

This donation went to Cindy in Shoreline because Tent City 3 will be relocating back to the North End from Tukwilla on July 12.  See the Greater Seattle Cares website for what you can do to help.

Come meet the folks at Tent City 3 during their move day on July 12 starting about noon at Haller Lake United Methodist Church, 13055 First Avenue NE, Seattle 98125.

Yes, this isn't in Shoreline, but everyone in the North End is so supportive of Tent City 3 that it's just a great neighborly thing to do when they are so close to our homes. Visit anytime or help setup their structures and camp on this Saturday. Make a friend. You never know how close to home the issue is until you know someone who is living without the conveniences we take for granted. 

Follow Kelly's example and contribute what doesn't sell at your garage sale, or do as I do and approach those having a garage sale and ask if they would be willing to donate. Be an ambassador and support Tent City 3. You'll leave with a good feeling when you do.
