woman finds a hole in a book that happened to be hiding something unexpected

Sale Begins

The annual sale of VNSA book started on February 9, 2019. Volunteers were eager to find out the response of the customer once they would get to know about Cathy’s story. Most probably, they would start searching for stashed money inside every book.     

Nothing Unusual

However, nothing happened as they had expected. Though each and every individual out there was overwhelmed by the altruistic act of the woman, none of them bothered to check books for stashed cash. Cathy explained, “I don’t think that anybody else will find $4000 in a book. But books are a great gift, with or without $4000.”  

Success

As far as the sale is concerned it turned out to be a huge success. Over 13,000 people gathered to become a part of the event in February 2019. It was because of these fantastic number they managed to collect $400,000. And as planned the whole of money was given away to charity.

Helped Many

Adrieanne Morey expressed her feelings, “Thanks to this sale, I got $100+ worth of kids’ books to stock my waiting room at my vision center.” “A wonderfully diverse group of books that will hopefully get kids and adults interacting while they wait for an eye exam. I love, love, love this sale every year!”

VNSA Mattered

This amazing Volunteer Nonprofit Service Association came into existence about 63 years ago. The organization aims to raise enough funds to make donations to community programs. This mind-blowing initiative was taken by VNSA in 1949. Since then, the show has gathered many loyal customers who show up every year to buy books. 

VNSA, Book Sale In 1957

The organization said, “The dollars donated to community programs has increased significantly over the years. Since the first VNSA Used Book Sale in 1957, VNSA has returned more than $5,300,000 to local nonprofit human service agencies in our community.”
