MERR yard sale fundraiser set for May 10 at Lewes facility

The Marine Education, Research and Rehabilitation Institute Inc. will hold its annual yard sale from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., Saturday, May 10, at its facility on Pilottown Road in Lewes.

MERR’s yard sale is one of the organization's major fundraisers. This year, the event will feature its usual assortment of items for home and garden, as well as a plant sale to be featured on the grounds.

All funds raised during the event will go to the year-round efforts of the nonprofit organization that serves as the only response and rescue organization for marine mammals and sea turtles stranding in Delaware. Support for these animals includes food and care, veterinary treatment, transportation and supplies.

MERR also hosts a number of outreach endeavors in which representatives travel to area schools and events to inform students and the general public about ocean conservation, and the marine mammals and sea turtles that visit Delaware.
