MARYSVILLE – Every time Gail Jubie received her paycheck from Albertsons, she would buy a sack of groceries and deliver it to the women’s shelter.
After Jubie was murdered at her Everett home in 2000, her family decided to honor her by carrying on her tradition of providing food for those in need. They’re preparing for the third annual Gail Jubie Memorial Garage Sale Nov. 11-13.
“This year, our goal is $25,000, with a little help from the community,” said Phil Jubie of Marysville, one of Gail Jubie’s brothers.
Starting Saturday, the family will accept donations of any usable sale items except clothing, televisions and computers at the tents they’ve set up west of the Marysville Community Food Bank, 6518 60th Drive NE. Items may be dropped off 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Saturday through Wednesday.
The sale will be 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Nov. 11-13, with no early birds.
The family also will accept cash donations, which are tax-deductible. Proceeds benefit the food bank.
The sale brought in $9,400 in 2002 and $19,500 in 2003, Jubie said. “Our whole family gets together on this,” he said, including all 11 siblings, as well as aunts and cousins.
They collect items and store them during the year, then set up tents to accept community donations. Auto dealer Dwayne Lane donated an extra tent this year, Jubie said.
The family also will sell hot dogs, chips and soft drinks at the sale.
