May 30: Garage Sale

Donations accepted beginning April 15

By donating used, but useable goods to the sale, you have an opportunity to create more space and less clutter in your home, as well as support the RVCC. By assisting with the sale, you can connect again with your neighbours in Riverview. 

There are 4 ways you can help:

1. Hold a yard or garage sale at your own home on May 30th, and donate 10% of sales to RVCC. We will provide you with a lawn sign and balloons, and do extensive multi-media advertising to bring in shoppers.

2. Donate saleable goods to RVCC and they will be sold there on May 30 (all proceeds to RVCC). You may drop off sale goods at the community centre to the main floor storage room daily 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., or behind the bicycle rack near the front doors, if they are locked. 

Sorry, but we cannot accept magazines, encyclopedias or textbooks, TVs, computers, printers, tires, child car seats, stuffed animals, mattresses, sofas, golf clubs, skis, large appliances or broken or musty items, as these items do not sell at a garage sale. 

Also not accepting clothing, boots or shoes at this time. 

Final day to donate goods is Wednesday, May 27th at 5pm.

3. Volunteer to assist at the RVCC sale on May 28, 29 or 30th. We especially need assistance setting up on Thursday, May 28, starting at 9 a.m., and packing up on Saturday at 3 p.m. after the sale. After the pack-up, we need to break down boxes, recycle, and clean the main hall (about 5 p.m.).  

4. Visit your neighbourhood sales on May 30th for fabulous bargains not available at any shopping mall. We had a very successful sale last year, and this year promises to be the same. Come see for yourself why Winnipeg is known as “The Garage Sale Capital of Canada!”

Mark your calendar and please plan to participate in this pan-community event.  For info or to volunteer, contact the Garage Sale Coordinators: 

There will also be an on-site bake sale raising funds for the Riverview Health Centre Foundation and the Community Centre
