Funds from a garage sale at Courtney Paat's State Farm Agency will go toward expenses and supplies for the trip.
On Saturday, May 21, Courtney Paat State Farm will host a garage sale fundraiser for Church on the Rock in Plant City.
From July 16 to July 22, an all-volunteer team from Church on the Rock will be in Antigua, Guatemala, and the surrounding villages. There, church members will build kit homes for homeless families, supply water filtration for clean drinking water and do puppet shows and crafts at local orphanages and hospitals.
Officers from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, the Plant City Police Department and the Tampa Police Department also will attend the trip to offer training to the national police force of Guatemala.
All funds raised from the garage sale, which will be held at Courtney Paat's State Farm Agency on James L. Redman Parkway, will go toward the expenses of the mission trip and supplies. In addition to the garage sale, Courtney Paat State Farm will donate $10 dollars to the cause for every person that has a raw new quote on either auto, home, life or health insurance. A DJ will play music at the event, and community members are encouraged to shop and socialize with friends.
