Our annual yard sale is coming up on Friday, May 8th (8 AM to 6 PM) and Saturday, May 9th (8 AM to 2 PM). This is the only time of the year where we ask for your financial support. Save the dates!
The short version:
We are accepting donations now! We usually say "no clothes!", but we're pretty happy to take most anything else that you'd imagine we could sell at a yard sale. Please hit us up ASAP if you'd like to donate. The description of our Facebook event for the sale will be updated closer to the sale dates with a list of what we'll be offering for sale.
The long version:
1. We are ready for your donations! Please reach out to us ASAP, or you can leave your stuff on our porch at 1601 B Street. We are all guilty of procrastinating at one time or another, but the quicker you can get us your donations the better off we'll be at getting everything sorted and priced for May 9th.
2. "No Clothes!" We've learned the hard way over the years that most of the clothing that people would donate just isn't worth our time, so we try to avoid it. If you think you have something truly exceptional like a new pair of expensive shoes or a nice leather jacket, we *might* hear you out.
3. We are interested in *almost* anything that we can sell at our yard sale. The strength of our previous yard sales is partly due to the sheer quantity and variety of items that we can put out every year. The following is by no means a comprehensive list of things that we've sold over the years: small appliances, electronics, collectibles, books, video games, board games, toys, household goods, art, decorations, and extra seedling plants from our gardener friends. You can reach out and ask us if we'd be interested in what you have, but the answer is probably going to be YES!
4. Come and Shop! We'd love to see you during the sale on Friday, May 8th and/or Saturday, May 9th. If you're someone who likes to rummage at these sales, you'll probably find something interesting amidst our huge, diverse array of offerings.
5. Yes, we can also take your money if you want to donate more directly to our fundraiser. Some prefer to think of themselves as financial "angels" who may be paying for someone else coming through after them. Such angels give us more leeway to give away useful things to people who may need them but can't actually afford them (like single mothers and daycare providers). We'd prefer to get cash donations in person, but if that's not realistic for you there is also a PayPal donations button on our website or you can mail a check to Jackson Meredith (that's me!) at 1601 B Street, Lincoln, NE, 68502.
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for your continued support of our activities here!
