'Clean Sweep' generates hundreds of high-quality donations
EntSun News/11020665
NAPLES, Fla. - EntSun -- Clean Sweep at The Dunes, an annual spring cleaning campaign for residents of the Naples community, celebrated its eighth year with volunteers collecting and delivering hundreds of high-quality items to support Guadalupe Resale Shop.
This year's donations included unused furniture still in the box, collectibles, original paintings, pottery, home decor, tableware, clothing and more. Residents of The Dunes donated enough items to fill multiple vehicles, including a box truck. After processing, items will be priced and sold at Guadalupe Resale Shop, which generates financial support for educational programs at Guadalupe Center in Immokalee.
"There are so many generous individuals and families here at The Dunes, and they support a variety of charitable causes throughout the year," said Phyllis Ettinger, a Resale Shop volunteer who coordinates Clean Sweep at The Dunes. "We all have unused or underappreciated items in our homes that we no longer need or want, and if you know an item will support a great cause, it makes it that much easier to donate."

Each year, Guadalupe Resale Shop generates more than $1 million in sales revenue that helps fund academic programs for children from birth through college. Guadalupe Center is recognized as a national model for nonprofits that rely on philanthropy as the primary funding source for education programs. The organization operates a nationally accredited Early Childhood Education Program, After-school Tutoring & Summer Enrichment Program and college-preparatory Tutor Corps Program, as well as the family literacy Smart Start Program. Guadalupe Center also operates the Collier County School District's Teenagers as Parents Program in Immokalee.
"Guadalupe Center is using education to build a cycle of prosperity in Immokalee, and every sale at the Resale Shop helps support life-changing educational opportunities," said Resale Shop Manager Greethel Leon. "The Dunes has been a great partner for many years and our volunteers are continually impressed with the quality of items that residents are donating."
