Parking Lot Sale Recap By Jacqui Galvez Vasquez T HE COMMUNITY CAME TOGETHER ON SATURDAY, August 10, 2024, to participate in CHBIOA’s Parking Lot Sale. The sun came out early as if to welcome and reward the 50+ vendors who were present early to set up. Bargain hunters were out early as well, trying to snag treasures before anyone else had a chance to eye them. Sales were robust throughout the day and vendors went home with far less than they had come in with that morning. Laughter and chatter filled the air. CHBIOA staff were present to facilitate the event. A new and welcome addition to the event was The Salvation Army. They provided a 24’ donation truck to accept donations for the entire event. Thank you to members of the Community who donated items that filled their truck by day’s end. The donated items are sold in Salvation Army thrift stores, outlets, and online, where they strive to get the best value for these second-hand items. This ensures continued funding of local programs where men and women regain their dignity, self sufficiency, and stability through their 6-month residential program. The next Community Parking Lot Sale is planned for August 2025.
