Yosemite Gateway Association of Realtors is pleased to announce that the 2008 charity recipient is:

Manna House

The Manna House was established more than 20 years ago to supplement other emergency assistance programs to the needy in the mountain area. They supply needs as the funds are available with the major focus being distribution of food and clothing. They currently operate out of their facilities at 50407 Hangtree Lane in Oakhurst between the hours of 10:00 am and 2:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Their telephone number is (559) 683-6262 and they have call forwarding for emergency needs after hours. The Manna House staff is composed of about 30 volunteers, many of whom have volunteered for many years. As their work has become known throughout the community more business people and individuals have joined in supporting these efforts through donations of money, food, clothing or discounts for which they are most grateful. Yosemite Gateway Association of Realtors® is proud to help support Manna House as our charity recipient this year. 

Monster Rummage Sale sets another record in 2008!

This annual event is presented each year by the Yosemite Gateway Association of Realtors®.  This occasion brings together Realtors®, Affiliates, Service Providers, and community members to work towards a common goal of giving back to the local community.  Each year a local charity is chosen to be the recipient of the proceeds of the Monster Rummage Sale.

2008's beneficiary, Manna House, was presented with a check for $16,000. as well as a “mountain of food” on October 9th. “The overwhelming response from our volunteers and the community made this the largest event ever” says Shelly Adkins.  “We had over 150 volunteers that made this event such a success and the indoor location this year gave us time to get so organized it was like a department store.”

Over the past 7 years the charity recipients included local volunteer fire departments, Hinds Hospice, local SPCA, Boys and Girls Club, The Sheriff’s department Operation Lost and Found and Citizens on patrol, The Learning Center also known as TLC and Helping Hands Pregnancy and Parenting Center.  During those 7 years over $65,000. was given back to our community through these organizations along with the opportunity for local folks to shop for and purchase some great items at a great price.
