Hundreds of shoppers enjoyed the many bargains found at the POC Service Club’s “Mega Spring Garage Sale”!
The POC Service Club held its annual “Spring Mega Garage Sale” on April 2, 2022, and it was a smashing success! The Club would like to thank everyone who showed up with their Big Hearts and Generous Pocketbooks to support the Club in a huge way! Your generosity allows the Club to continue to do great things for Port O’Connor, its residents, and its visitors! We would also like to thank all of the hardworking people who showed up to help at the Garage Sale: our members; their spouses and relatives; members of the U.S. Coast Guard, POC Station; and our student volunteers! For those who don’t know, all items left over after our Garage Sales are donated to, and picked up by, Restoration House Ministries in Victoria, who support various charitable endeavors for those in need. The Club also donated leftover pet supplies to “Calhoun County Humane Society”, and leftover toiletry items to the “Calhoun County Community Ministries”. Nothing is wasted, and nothing goes unused, and it’s a Win-Win for all of us, and the many people who benefit!
The Club is also proud to announce that our current project, the purchase and installation of the new sign for the POC Community Center, is nearing fruition, and the sign has been ordered!! The sign is being funded by your generous contributions to the Club at the Turkey Cook-Off, which was graciously hosted by Josie’s Mexican Restaurant and Cantina in November 2021, with all proceeds from the Cook-Off and Silent Auction donated to the POC Service Club!Thank you all for your support! We’ll keep you posted on the sign.
Please continue to support the Service Club’s Booths at the Farmers Market held every second Saturday of the month, the next one being May 14, 2022. We always have a variety of homemade breads and sweets, plants, ceramics, etc. We have something for everyone, so please stop by!
With our “Spring Garage Sale” behind us, the Club is already preparing for our “Fall Garage Sale”, and are happy to accept your generous donations of gently used household, decorative, and kitchen items; small appliances; clothing; shoes; toys; children’s and baby items, and appreciate every donation! For your convenience, we have a “Donation Drop Box” located at the front of our Donation Center, which is the building immediately behind the Community Center Pavilion. As always, we greatly appreciate your continued support so that we can continue to do great things for the POC Community!
