A House Full of Longaberger Basket; Donation?

A church was having a capital campaign and one of the ladies on staff at the church had a desire to benefit the church. She also had another dilemma: 60 miles away she was trying to sell a home but in the home was a very large collection of Longaberger baskets (910 to be exact.) Faced with the stress of trying to inventory the baskets as well as sell the home, she chose to donate the baskets to benefit her church. iDonate.com had contracted with a local collectible auction that was actually one of the best in the country at selling Longaberger baskets. They traveled the 60 miles to her home, picked up and inventoried her items, and sold them over a two-month period. The items netted nearly $11,000 for her church.
