While most people buy and sell second hand goods online these days, the West Footscray Neighbourhood House (WFNH) is giving people the chance to do it the old fashioned way with its annual garage sale on Saturday 21 February.
Held at the neighbourhood house above the West Footscray library on Barkly Street, the garage sale will give inner west locals the chance to find a bargain while helping keep the WFNH afloat.
“We’re hoping to raise money for the neighbourhood house and our programs that assist the local community like community childcare, the toy library, play group and soul house which is a community lunch program,” WFNH programs officer Terry Nguyen said of what the proceeds from the garage sale would go towards.
Running from 10am to 2pm, it’s hoped the garage sale will raise between $1000 and $2000, with second hand goods, clothing toys, books and shoes among the items on offer, while there will also be face-painting for kids.
Despite being a fundraiser, no large items will be on sale and prices will be kept low so even those struggling to make ends can afford to buy something.
Mr Nguyen said there were still opportunities available for those looking to sell stuff as well.
“We’re still gathering people. We’re doing $20 a table so just get in contact with us.”
