Is an area for members of our stake to shop, for free, from donated items.

Who can come?:

I want to donate, where do I take my stuff?:
Currently, Sister Whitworth is collecting items from our ward for the Granny's Attic. You can give these items to her through Wednesday, Aug 17. She will be delivering items Th. Aug 18.
