Nonprofit seeks items for online auction

STATE COLLEGE — Global Connections is collecting everything but the kitchen sink to advance its mission of promoting intercultural understanding.

From now until Saturday, July 15, the organization is accepting donations — from vehicles to furniture to artwork to sporting goods — for its online “Everything but the Kitchen Sink” auction.

Accepted items include vehicles, gift cards and gift certificates, modern and vintage household items, furniture, antiques, jewelry, tools, appliances and kitchenware.

A list of suggested items is available at www.gc-cc.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/suggested-items-being-accepted-and-items-not-sell.pdf.
To schedule a donation drop-off, call Global Connections at (814) 863-3927, or leave a message, including name, phone number, email address and item information, at www.gc-cc.org/contact. 
In August, Michael F. Dilliard Auction Co. will list the items in an online auction that will be promoted to its email list of more than 6,000 subscribers. Online bidding begins Friday, Aug. 11, and starts to close at 7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 27.

Proceeds from the auction will support various Global Connections programs that help and connect internationals and area residents.

A community-based organization affiliated with the United Way of Centre County and the Pennsylvania State University, Global Connections’ mission for more than 50 years has been to promote intercultural sharing and understanding and to build a strong, inclusive community through service, education, advocacy and partnerships.
