Start cleaning out the closets, basement and attic! HMP is preparing for our annual Yard Sale fundraiser. This year's sale will be held on Saturday, June 9th from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. at the same location (the corner of 18th and Park).

We will accept your items on Saturday and Sunday May 26th and 27th as well as June 2nd and 3rd from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. in the alley directly behind 1755 Lamont Street.

We will not take any large appliances like air conditioners or refrigerators, and no computers either As well, we will not accept clothing this year due to the fact that we have had too much remaining at the end of the sale. We recommend dropping off your clothes in the process to Martha's Table at 14th and V. They accept Tuesday-Saturday from 8:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.

Mark your calendar and start cleaning out your basement!

Saturday, June 9, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm is the Annual HMP Yard Sale (Rain Date June 10): This is our biggest fund raiser of the year and it is also one of the most environmentally friendly and fun ways to get rid of your (former) treasures and to stock up on some new ones. This is recycling at its best. We will be offering HMP merchandise and refreshments for sale as well. Join your neighbors for a really exciting day of treasure hunting!

Donations: We accept just about everything: jewelry, furniture, small appliances, housewares, toys, tools, etc. Sorry we will no longer be accepting clothes, computers, electronic equipment or large appliances such as airconditioners or refrigerators. We will be collecting donations at the garage behind 1753 Lamont St., NW on the following weekends from 9:00 to noon: May 26 and 27, and June 2 and 3. Bring your donations rain or shine. All donations are tax deductible and we will provide the necessary forms. Donations may also be dropped off at 3303 18th St. (the NE corner of Park and 18th) on the morning of the sale before 10:00 am.

Volunteers: We need volunteers on the four drop-off days (May 26 or 27th, or June 2 or 3) to help accept, price and sort donations. We need lots of volunteers the morning of the sale starting at 7:30 am to help set up the sale and volunteers throughout the day to help with sales.

HMP Funds Support: In the past the funds raised by HMP have supported: Heritage Trail Sign Project; the Call Box Project; the activities of Main Street Mount Pleasant; the rejuvenation of the Latin American Youth Center Mural on the Klingle Road wall; a community picnic; and the annual Gala Christmas Party.
