Jamaica National to host charity yard sale

The Jamaica National Building Society (JNBS) will host a fund-raising yard sale on December 4 to benefit residents at the Golden Age Home in Vineyard Town, St Andrew.

The Golden Cluster Yard Sale -More for Less will be held in the Upper Car Park of the JNBS chief office, 2-4 Constant Spring Road, Half-Way Tree, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Members of the public will be able to purchase books, household appliances, office furniture, mobile phones, clothing and accessories, artwork and various other items.

Proceeds from the yard sale will benefit residents of Cluster H, one of eight units in the golden age home which was adopted by JNBS through its group corporate communications department. The funds will assist with much needed repairs to the cluster, which houses 64 residents.

"It promises to be a wonderful family event," said Marie Stewart, manager of the JN group corporate communications department, who noted that patrons will be treated to a thrilling entertainment package. Children will also be entertained in the kiddies village which will include a bounce-about and face-painting, among other fun activities. Refreshments will be on sale.

"The entry fee is $200 for adults and $50 for children over 12 years," Stewart said.

"The event will give persons an opportunity to carry out their pre-Christmas shopping at highly attractive prices, while at the same time, lend a helping hand to the needy."
