Mission Statement
To earn funds to support those in need locally, nationally and internationally through community participation in donating, sorting and selling garage sale merchandise.
Description
Although sponsored by St. Paul's, it is a community effort, with over half of the volunteers coming from outside of the church. Sales occur twice a year, and in a total of 6 sale days, earn up to $28,000 annually, with 100% of proceeds supporting those in need. We welcome individual and group volunteers for tasks such as donation sorting, sale set up and take down, and department monitoring. Opportunities for volunteering cover 4 months of the year. Opportunities also exist for organizations to earn a monetary gift for their volunteer hours based upon hours worked and number of volunteers representing their organization. Student groups are welcome. Grants have benefitted mental health, autism, emergency needs, food pantries, Appalachian housing repairs, African mosquito netting, domestic violence, addiction services, among many others.
