Got clutter?

Cindy — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 16:46:46 +0000

I visited with Prachee at www.westcentralindustries.com this morning after dropping off some items that did not sell at our garage sale.

The Thrift Store is located at 900 Highway 15 South in Hutchinson. The drop off is in the back of the building, off of Linden. It’s full service. You back up and ring the door bell. The “door man” comes out to retrieve your clutter and in turn gives you a tax receipt to use for donation purposes when it’s tax time. Does it get any better? Consider doing this, not only to benefit you and your family, but to create a job for somebody else.

The store employs those people who are trying hard to work their way into other employment opportunities within the community. You can help out and provide job security for somebody else by getting rid of the clutter in your house! Consider a donation today……….
