It was a chilly morning but that did not stop the early birds of being out looking for treasures at the Jumpstart Community Yard Sale.
The event, which runs Thursday through Saturday at the Canadian Tire Garden Centre in Yorkton, has all proceeds going to benefit local youth in the community.
“In 2005, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities was launched to address an issue of national concern; the inactivity of kids. National in scope, but local in its focus, Jumpstart helps kids in financial need participate in organized sports and physical activities by assisting with the costs associated with registration, equipment and/or transportation.
“Jumpstart is a national charity with a commitment to local communities. Organized sports connect kids to their communities. Canadian Tire Corporation recognized this and makes sure that money raised stays where it is donated. Canadian Tire Corporation is Jumpstart’s biggest supporter as it funds all the general administrative expenses of Jumpstart, which means 100 per cent of customer donations go directly to help kids in need,” details the program’s website.
