You’ll be entered to win great prizes from a Nintendo Switch to a cordless Dyson vacuum, just to name a few great prizes.

The survey takes 10-15 minutes to complete and helps the OCCE make data-informed decisions to improve and amplify Centre’s culture of community engagement.

We love our local library and are so thankful for their participation in Delve into Danville year after year!

We enjoyed visits from more than 250 first-year Centre students who came to see the library on Saturday, part of the college's annual Delve Into Danville event. Many became library card holders. We were pleased to be part of an enjoyable first impression of downtown Danville for Centre students. We welcome all Centre students and new staff. Thanks to the Centre College Office of Civic and Community Engagement.

The Hope Springs Yard Sale volunteers have been buzzing the past two weeks collecting, sorting, and staging thousands of donated items from across campus. Without dozens of volunteers every year, the Hope Spring Yard Sale would not be possible.

The sale begins Thursday, May 28 at 2:00 and lasts until 6:00 p.m. All remaining items will be heavily discounted on Friday, May 29 from 8:00 - 10:00 a.m.

Set your alarms and mark your calendars! Shoppers get ready because the Hope Springs Yard Sale is here...

Doors open to shoppers at the Seabury Family Tennis Center (820 W Perryville St.) this Thursday, May 28 at 2:00 p.m. and close at 6:00 p.m. Any remaining items will be heavily discounted for sale on Friday, May 29 between 8:00-10:00 a.m.

Only cash, Venmo, and Paypal are accepted.

Here is why your shopping makes an impact. The proceeds from the sale benefit local people with life changing illnesses, specifically multiple sclerosis, or support local nonprofits like The Gladys Project of the Boyle County Homeless Coalition. High value textbooks are either donated to the International Book Project or added to the Grissom Loaning Library at Centre. Finally, unopened nonperishable food items are donated to local food pantries.

In summary, stuff gets diverted from the landfill, this community gets great deals on second-hand items, and the proceeds from the sale are used to help our neighbors here in Danville-Boyle County. Come shop and make an impact!
