On Saturday, the Hands4Hope – Youth Making a Difference Youth Board is hosting “Treasures and Treats” at the Hands4Hope Placerville Youth Center from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., located at 905 Spring Street in Placerville.
This special event is a garage sale offering hidden treasures and delightful baked treats, with all proceeds dedicated to funding a scholarship for college and career/technical education tuition.
The garage sale will feature thoughtfully selected items generously donated by the community, ensuring something for everyone. The Treasures and Treats event offers a unique opportunity for families and community members to shop for bargains and enjoy a variety of baked goods provided by local businesses. Guests can support a meaningful cause while discovering stylish finds and great deals on home décor, furniture, and toys, and indulging in delicious snacks.
The Hands4Hope Youth Board is excited to host this event, which will make a tangible difference in a student’s future by helping cover the rising costs of college and technical education tuition through a new scholarship offering.
The Hands4Hope Youth Board consists of 20 high school youth who participate as leaders in one of Hands4Hope’s 15 on-campus clubs or 6 after-school committees. In addition to driving the organization, the Youth Board selects a specific area of need to support. This year, the Hands4Hope Youth Board voted to support efforts related to youth moving from high school to college or career readiness programs. The Hands4Hope Youth Board is proud to commit to providing community-based scholarship opportunities and hopes to meet our fundraising goal of $6,000 through our enjoyable and memorable community event and make a big difference in the lives of some of our peers.
You can support this cause by attending or by making a monetary donation to the scholarship fund. Don’t miss this chance to support local youth and education while enjoying a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Come to the Placerville Hands4Hope Youth Center and help make a difference!
