Filling trailers, homes & hearts

Filling trailers, homes & hearts 
Tracy Area Headlight Herald, Tracy, MN; 9/25/24 
The Hospice of Murray County Rummage Sale takes place every fall at the Murray County Fairgrounds in Slayton. But in no other year has the event meant as much to people organizers will never meet. And for one former Tracy resident, it provided a chance to make an even bigger difference than she already does in her hometown of Mankato. Two trailers full of all kinds of furniture — from chairs, tables and couches, to beds and lamps — were driven from the fairgrounds to Mankato on Saturday for an organization called A Fresh Start, a program started during COVID that supports those impacted by the homeless.
