The Russellville Dream Center will be hosting several major events in April to help further their ministry to serve the community and to help change lives.
Center Director Shawn Reathford said the center will hold a yard sale Saturday, April 5 from 6 a.m. to 12 noon, rain or shine.
"The sale is to raise money to meet the needs of the center," Reathford said.
The sale will include a variety of items such as clothes, furniture, sleds, kitchen items, living room and bath items, dining room items, bedroom items and other household items.
"We are accepting donations for our sale so if anyone has items they don't need and would like to donate they can do so by bringing them by our office," Reathford said.
The center is also planning another fundraiser on April 18 at their church on Jackson Avenue.
"We are having a chili supper," Reathford said. "It will be a lunch and supper chili dinner event."
The tickets cost $6 each, and will include chili, Mexican cornbread, dessert, drink and fixings.
In addition to the yard sale, the center hosts several outreaches during the week including a new breakfast outreach held on Jackson Avenue in Russellville from 8:15 to 9:05 a.m.
"We want to have an outreach in the morning when people are going to work as a service to our community," Reathford said.
