Food pantry director Jim Keusenkothen said this sale is a way to put faith into action.

“What we talk about over at our church building, this is putting the rubber to the road so to speak where we are actually helping people out, and these volunteers that we have are the most awesome people in the world to be around, and that’s just what they want to do, they want to help people,” he said.

The sale will run through Saturday. Hours are 8 am to 4 pm on Friday and 7 am to noon on Saturday.
