Despite the storm damage and dangerous conditions, the annual Livestrong Trash and Treasure Sale continued as planned.When the doors opened at 9:00AM, shoppers were already lined up and ready to enter.“It’s been a great turnout so far despite the weather,” said Andrew Papalia of the Warren County YMCA. “I know we had some tree damage in our parking lot, but when we opened the doors at 9:00, we had a pretty big line already that went all the way through our other gym with people who were ready to come in and buy some stuff.”The annual sale raises money for the YMCA’s Livestrong program, which provides support and physical activity opportunities for cancer survivors.Papalia said the strong turnout, despite the severe weather, demonstrated the community’s continued commitment to supporting programs offered through the YMCA.“It is incredible to see everyone come out and support this and come together as a community to ensure that we can have these programs,” Papalia said. “It’s incredible to know that people still came out in this crazy weather to support us.”The Trash and Treasure Sale is scheduled to continue through Friday, September 4th, at the Warren County YMCA.For more information on the Warren County YMCA and their Livestrong program, visit their website, here.</div></body>
