Rummage Sale 2007

Rummage Sale is one of ILT's annual event, and it was held on October 20th and 21st in 2007. Our purpose is to fundraise money for various community groups. We put up the posters few weeks ago to encourage people to donate unnecessary items or appliances to us and then our volunteer Mama would mark prices on it. On the day before the event, we received almost 300 miscellaneous goods and most of them were in good condition! With the support and of our community and the help of ILT members, we successfully raised over $1000 CND. The earnings of the sale was contributed to Hong Fook Mental Health Association.

慈善義賣是「我愛多倫多」青年團隊的年度活動之一,其目的是將義賣所得捐贈給不同的慈善團體並提倡環保再利用的觀念。不同於以往和亞洲夜市一起舉辦,今年我們將義賣辦在秋楓正美的十月,原本以為募集的義賣物品及響應的人潮會減少,但令人感動的是,在社區好友的支持下我們依然募集到近300件物品。兩天活動下來,我們募集到約$1200的慈善所得。除了要感謝大家的熱烈的支持響應,在此也要好好表揚ILT的義工們。他們將難得的周末假期捐給這次的義賣,並以笑容溫暖大家的心。
此活動的收入全數捐給「康福心裡治療協會」

All ILT volunteers were very optimistic and they were laughing all the time!


Secondhand books were one of the hot selling goods


This event not only gave us a good experience but also made everyone strongly connected to each other!
