Thanks to the generous donations and support from our community, Worth Repeating has allocated $10,867 to support Manchester community functions.

Efforts Worth Repeating has supported since January 2022 include Acorn Market, the Community Resource Center, Manchester Area Youth Sports, Manchester Music Boosters, the Manchester Community Fair, Manchester Community Scholarships, the Manchester Community Schools, the Manchester Area Historical Society, the Manchester Lamb Club, the Manchester Steer Club, and the Manchester Swine Club.

Worth Repeating is also donating all proceeds from our current silent auction, which runs through May 7, toward the Chi-Bro Park Improvement Plan.

There are 20 items on display in the store window and inside the store at 110 East Main. Many of these are handcrafted pieces created by area residents. Bidding ends at 1pm on Saturday, May 7. Bidders have the chance to get one-of-a-kind items and help our park in the process.

Any interested bidders will need to register for a bidding number at the checkout counter of Worth Repeating. Winning bidders will be contacted on Saturday, May 7. Winning bidders have until Saturday, May 14, to pay for and claim their items.

Worth Repeating welcomes donations of fine resalable items to continue community efforts to make life in Manchester better for all of us. Donations are accepted during open store hours: Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday 10am–2pm, and Thursday 3–7pm. Please consider donating items that no longer fit your needs — help them to find a new home, and help your community at the same time!

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
