This is a partial list of organizations who have benefited from our consignors' donations after the sale.

 Hunterdon County Foster Families - Foster care is family-based care
for children who temporarily are not able to live at home. During the time
that children live in a foster home, the foster parents provide the same
care that the children's own parents would provide. Foster parents also
help the children understand that they will be either returning to their own
families or adopted, whichever is the case. Foster parenting is a
commitment to make a meaningful contribution to a child's life, although it
may not require a lifetime commitment to a child. The items you choose
to donate after the sale will be offered these families for FREE.

For more information of Foster Parents, you may check out their website
at www.njfostercare.org

 Interfaith Hospitality Network of Hunterdon County - The Interfaith
Hospitality Network of Hunterdon County (IHN-HC) is a non-profit
organization of congregations that minister to the needs of homeless
women and families. The network provides shelter, sustenance and
support in caring settings while assisting its guests in resolving their
homelessness. IHN respects the guests' dignity and strives to enhance
their self-sufficiency. Any items not taken by the Foster Families/DYFS
