Help a Good Cause Without Ever Leaving Home...Just Cleaning It!!!

If you need to make room for all of your new holiday items, now is the perfect time to clean up and move out all that old stuff! The Lupus Foundation of America will come and pick it up for you! They will be in the area on Friday, January 11. All you have to do is:

1 - Bag or box up your donations and clearly label them "LFA."
2 - Call (888) 44-LUPUS to schedule the collection.
3 - Put the items on your front porch by 7:30 AM the day of the collection.

If the 11th is not convenient you can call and schedule another day. You do not need to be home. The driver will leave a tax receipt.

Lupus is a disabling and life-threatening illness that affects more then 1.5 million Americans. Woman are at the highest risk for developing Lupus. There is no cure and the LFA needs your help! The donated goods are sold to private companies by annual bid and the money raised goes to education and research efforts. You can learn more at ww.lupus.org.

They are looking for:
  • Clothing - all types and sizes
  • Shoes
  • Bedding
  • Draperies & curtains
  • Housewares & glassware
  • Jewelry & Cosmetics
  • Toys
  • Knick Knacks
  • Small Appliances
  • Tools - all kinds
