On Saturday, May 2, discover thousands of items for your home and family at the annual Social Justice Yard Sale sponsored by and held at the Unitarian-Universalist Congregation of Fairfax, 2709 Hunter Mill Road, Oakton.
This popular event will benefit four charitable organizations:
- Shepherd’s Center of Oakton-Vienna, helping seniors enjoy independent living,
- NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) of Northern Virginia, providing education and support for individuals and their families challenged by mental illness,
- Mosaic Harmony, a multi-faith, multi-cultural gospel choir, and the partner churches of the Fairfax congregation. Past donations have helped build an orphanage in East India and a medical clinic in Romania.
The yard sale covers the entire indoor space of the church, including the sanctuary and the religious education classrooms, with more items outside. It is a great opportunity for members to responsibly donate items they no longer need and for buyers to locate incredible bargains. Last year’s sale generated $14,000 for the charities, which is apportioned based on the volunteer time donated from each organization.
Volunteers are needed both for the set-up, April 29-May 1 from 9am-8pm as well as on sale day, May 2. To volunteer, contact Joanna Walker at joanna.naminova@gmail.com.
