Charities & Donated Items

To Donate or Not to Donate, that is the question?

After the sale, you as the seller, have the option of donating your unsold items to a local charity. All our charities greatly appreciate your donations.

When trying to decide if you should donate your items or pick them up after the sale, please consider the following:

  • You are helping a family in need in your community. 
  • Do you have room to store the item(s)?
  •  How valuable is the item? 
  • Do you have someone you can give the item(s) to? 
  • If an item has not sold, even if you have let it be discounted to 50% off, chances are it will not sell during the next sale.

Lewis County Early Intervention Program

EARLY INTERVENTION for Infants, Toddlers & Families

Early Intervention is a program focused on enhancing the development of infants and toddlers with diagnosed disabilities or developmental delays. The Lewis County Early Intervention Program is designed to meet the very specific needs of children with disabilities or developmental delays, ages birth through two, and their families.

Parents and child advocates have long recognized that the amount and type of services available to young children and their families, particularly to those who are at financial, emotional or social risk, can and do make a difference in the lives of those children.

Lewis County has been very progressive in implementing Early Intervention Services under federal and state legislation. Early Intervention services include, but are not limited to: medical services for diagnostic or evaluation purpose; early identification, screening and assessment services; therapy services; family training; counseling; home visits, parent support groups, and service coordination.
