Bedford’s own Troop 399 is holding yet another unique fundraiser. The Troop had decided instead of selling the traditional popcorn, they wanted to do more service oriented fundraisers, to help teach the boys to serve others, to be responsible, and helpful. It allows them to help finance the activities they want to do based on how much they help at each activity, rather than on how much product they sell.
On April 21st, the boys will be holding a Fill the Trailer Donation Day. The way it works is that you bring things you might donate to a thrift store or other charity and the boys get credit for the items that will be taken to a thrift store. They will pay the boys per pound of the items donated.
So if you’re in the middle of spring cleaning, bring your gently used clothes and small household items to the Lutheran Church of the Master at 860 Northfield Road right next to Giant Eagle. The Troop will be collecting items from 9 am to noon that day.
They cannot accept larger items, however, like washers, dryers, or refrigerators.
Thanks to the community for their great support of Troop 399.
Great job….of organizing all those items to fit into your convoy.
