In honor of Veteran’s Day, I’d like to remind all of you about StoreRight Self Storage’ partnership with the Yard Sale for the Troops Organization. As always, we are 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 five years.
The organization is run by Dorene Bettis. She accepts donations from the public at her booth at Howard’s Flea Market in Homosassa; 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 many of you may already know, StoreRight Self Storage, located on Rte 491 in Lecanto, is 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. We are located behind the Havana House Cafe & next door to Life South Blood Center.
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 at Howard’s Flea Market in Homosassa OR at StoreRight Self Storage in Lecanto. 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 toothbrushes, toothpaste, wet wipes, playing cards, etc….Those items can be dropped off at StoreRight Self Storage, 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! Help StoreRight Self Storage support our troops, not just on Veteran’s Day, but everyday!
Call StoreRight at 352-527-9777 if you have any questions. We’d be happy to hear from you!
