Just in time for cleaning after the holidays, the Polk County Red Cross is accepting donations for its spring tag, rummage and silent auction. All donations are tax deductible and a receipt will be giving upon request.

The Red Cross is asking the community to think of them when cleaning out closets after the holidays. Any item, other than clothes, that you think has value and are willing to part with, let us find it a new home.

Bring donations to the chapter located at 231 Ward Street in Columbus. Call 828-894-2700 for directions or pick-up.
