Most of what we take in we sell at the Garage Sale Bonanza.
Items that we do not sell we donate to our participating Non-Profit Organizations.
For example, we do not sell Automobiles or Real Estate so we use it or we direct it to the appropriate organization that can use it.
Anything that does not sell is made available for needy families of Ashtabula County.
Now that we have a permanent location, some items will be able to be held over for future Garage Sale Bonanzas.
The Damsels in Distress Program transforms distressed items (Persons, Places, Things) into desirable goods by teaching reconditioning, repurposing, and up-cycling techniques. This program puts into action skills so the DiD volunteer can gain real world experience from the application of making basic repairs.
