RUMMAGE SALE

Thank you to everyone who made this another outstanding sale! The community loves it and so many folks really need it as a place to furnish their home and get inexpensive clothing. WUMCO clients come shop for free at the end and the rest was packed off for other charities. It takes many hands to run a sale this big and the WSP appreciates all the support. THANK YOU!!!

It is great to see our St. Peter's community come together to help our parish and the Poolesville community as a whole. Many of our efforts overlap, as the team from Rehabilitation Opportunities, Inc. who help bag snacks, fruits, and vegetables for Just Lunch and help James with cleaning each Monday came out to make some purchases at the sale on Friday!
