This month the GUMBO Gathering is rolling into Lafayette to celebrate the season of giving! On the menu is a festive holiday collection drive to benefit the Attic Trash and Treasure sale hosted by the Inner Wheel of Baton Rouge. On Wednesday, December 18th, LOPA volunteers are invited to drop by the LOPA office in Lafayette from 4 -7 p.m. and drop off donations. Need to make room for Santa's newest deliveries? This is the perfect way to donate new and gently used items before your house is filled with your new Christmas presents!
We know this can be the busiest time of year, so feel free to make a quick trip or stay for a bit! We will deck the halls and be full of merry while serving up snacks and refreshments starting at 4 p.m., and it won't end until 7 p.m. So stop in, bring your donations and join us for a little holiday fun!
About the Attic Trash and Treasure Sale:
Inner Wheel has been running this garage sale on steroids since 1991. Through coordinating the sale of donations given from the community, over the past 28 years, this event has raised more than 2 million dollars for local charities, including a whopping $225,000 from last year's event alone! The next sale will take place in Baton Rouge during March 2020, and LOPA's foundation has been selected by the organization as one of the recipients of proceeds. Our longtime volunteer, board member, and organ recipient Wendy Haspel Lipsey has worked tirelessly to connect us with this fantastic charity. We couldn't be more grateful for her efforts, and we are excited to help collect donations for the event.
