This letter is to thank our wonderful community for their support on our recent fundraiser. This past weekend, March 26th – we held a charity garage sale at the Lion\’s Club and raised $2900 for the American Cancer Society. This was thanks to the generosity of items donatated by our community! But…there\’s more! A family arrived who\’s home had burned and they had no insurance. We were able to donate to them some needed household & clothing items. Another family attended whose child will not survive cancer and the tears from all reminded us of why we were there. A young man who had just lost his father to cancer stayed for 2 days to help to honor his memory. His presence brought heart felt joy to those whose lives he touched. A needy area family came in with only change in their pockets to leave with much needed things. Other love was spread as is what the Ozarks \”family\” continues to do. After the sale we still had hundreds of wonderful items to share with the area thrift stores so they can help touch more lives…The Boys & Girls Club, The Salvation Army, The Free Store, The Taney County Library, etc. Thanks again to all who contributed time, money, and items. I pray you know that your reward will come from God.
