A resale ministry based in West Newton and Elizabeth is having a months-long sale to clear out inventory to make room for new items.
Marci Elsbury and her husband, Ron, operate The Mantle House in West Newton, which aids homeless young adults.
Mantle House Mission offers a transitional place for homeless young men and women between 18 and 24-years-old, who hope to return into the community and lead a productive life.
The Christian-based organization believes there is a need to help young adults who may have no direction in their lives or a lack of guidance from mentoring adults, leaving them feeling alone and sometimes helpless.
