Sponsorships are still available for the Garage Sale and the community outreach program, Giving for Living. The Annual Garage Sale provides an opportunity for The Settlement Home for Children to not only help the children they serve, but also the Central Texas non-profit community. Through their Giving for Living program on Sunday, The Settlement Home provides vouchers to more than 50 Central Texas non-profits. These non-profits distribute the $25 vouchers to their clients who are in need of essential items, such as clothing, baby clothes and toys, kitchen items and more. The clients use these vouchers to pay for items at the Garage Sale. Now that’s making a difference in the world.
