August 6, 2023 at 3:04 p.m.
Over 700 people went to LifeTouch Ministries’ ungarage sale at Warsaw Evangelical Presbyterian Church, 210 S. High St., Warsaw, Saturday.
Mary Behny, director of development at LifeTouch Ministries, said when the ungarage sale started, there were people lined up around the church to get in.
At the ungarage sale, there were new and gently used clothing, shoes and new school supplies. The items were donated by members of the community. All items were free.
At 10:15 a.m., a little over an hour into the ungarage sale, they were completely out of school supplies, Behny said. Three hundred lunches were given away during the event.
Behny said LifeTouch had 50 volunteers to help with the event Saturday. Stylists were also there to provide haircuts.
LifeTouch receives grants through community members and organizations like the Kosciusko County Community Foundation to pay for clothing and school supplies for the event, as well as stipends for the stylists.
Any items not taken after the end of the ungarage sale will be donated to Goodwill.
Part of LifeTouch’s mission is to help people return to joy, so the sale was to help with that, Behny said.
At the end of the event, 802 people attended, 300 lunches were given away, approximately 40-plus haircuts were given away and approximately 100 children participated in supervised activities.
The ungarage sale was funded by local grants of businesses and individuals.
