Silent Auction Is Gearing Up
UCS

The winter months are a great time to sort out those homeschool items you no longer need for sale at this year's Used Curriculum Sale. Earn money while blessing others who need your unwanted items. The UCS barcoding system will open in March. For questions, contact the UCS staff at ucs@heav.org.

 
BIG plans are underway, and HEAV is gathering items for its third annual Silent Auction. Anyone can donate--your imagination is the limit! If you--or someone you know--would like to donate to the Silent Auction, please visit the webpage, or contact Michelle at silentauction@heav.org.
