I’m very pleased to announce that StoreRight SelfStorage in Lecanto has partnered with the Yard Sale for the Troops Organization. We are so excited to help out this most worthy cause!
Yard Sale for the Troops is a local organization based out of Howard’s Flea Market on Rte 19 in Homosassa. The purpose of the organization is to send much needed care packages to our American military servicemen and women stationed overseas. Yard Sale for the Troops has been sending care packages for the past four years.
The organization is run by Dorene Bettis. She accepts donations from the public at her booth at Howard’s Flea Market, then she sells the items and uses the proceeds to: 1. purchase toiletry and other items our troops need & have a hard time procuring while overseas. 2. to pay for the postage to mail each care package. It costs approximately $15 to mail each care package.
As of today, StoreRight SelfStorage, located on Rte 491 in Lecanto, is now a drop off spot for donations! Items may be dropped off at our office at 1227 S. Lecanto Hwy during our business hours of 8:30am til 5pm during the week, and 9am til 2pm on Saturday.
Yard Sale for the Troops accepts donations of household goods, tools, books, clothes….anything that may be sold at the booth at the flea market. Now, you can drop your donations off at Dorene’s booth OR at StoreRight! Whichever location is more convenient for you. StoreRight wants to make it easy for you to help our military!
Other ways you can help are by providing new items for the care packages, such as lip balm, toothpaste, wet wipes, playing cards, beef jerky, etc….Those items can be dropped off at StoreRight, too. Keep in mind, the average soldier can’t just make a quick trip to Wal-mart or CVS! I’m sure it must really lift their spirits to receive one of these care packages!
Call StoreRight at 352-527-9777 if you have any questions.
