Ever felt like having a yard sale, but didn't want to spend your Saturday in the hot, hot sun bargaining with toothless old men? Just give your stuff to us! Imagine the immense satisfaction you'll feel from helping a mid-sized, non-profit theatre company. I bet it's even better than squeezing out that extra nickel from Aunt Gert for your prized set of rooster pot holders.
We can use a lot of things... check out the list below. I bet there's something on it that's hiding in a box in your basement. Or maybe you own a business that has extra stock or you have some special skill. Or maybe you just want to give us a present. C'mon, we'll be your best friend...
