Help MDW Give Back
We wanted a way to give back and have figured out a great way to do it!
Bring all your used or unwanted, but resalable goods to our Rummage Sale. Make a little money and give a little money. We will do all the work; you do NOT have to be on hand during the sale! We will be giving a portion of all goods sold to several local charities. You can choose to receive cash from your sale, store credit (higher value) or to donate it all to a charity of your choosing.
