A Celebration of Sorts

A Celebration of Sorts moved from Value Village Brooklyn Center to the old Mervyn’s space at Southdale Sept. 18. This huge sort-a-thon, sponsored by Arc’s Value Village and United Way Caring Connection, was amazing with 489 volunteers providing 1,247 volunteer hours preparing merchandise for the Halloween Boo-tique. Volunteers processed about 50,000 items! Arc board member Hunter Sargent helped with volunteer orientations. The event generated strong media interest with coverage by KARE 11, WCCO TV; LOVE 105; 104.1 JACK FM and 102.9 WLTE FM.
