PURPOSE:Not only is this sale a great Community Service Event but the $5000+ raised from the sale will be distributed to the Back To School Store as well as Brown County agencies that focus on enriching the lives of the children of Brown County through our Community Gifts program. Click here for more information on Service League’s Community Gifts. HISTORY:The history of this event began with The Rummage Shop, staffed by Service League volunteers, which opened in a dressing room of the Orpheum Theater in 1935. Monthly sales were held throughout Green Bay until 1979 when Service League consolidated its efforts into two seasonal events. In 1996, these two rummage sales were combined into what is now an annual fall event. All items for sale have been donated by current and former Service League members. 2010 HIGHLIGHTS:Thanks to you - we were able to sell over 8,000 items in 2009 at $0.50 and over 200 at $3.00. Our goal is to put new or lightly used clothing and house wares into the hands of people that can benefit from decent clothing at ridiculously low prices. Remaining items were donated to Manna for Life. The sale was a great success and we were able to supply clothing and house wares to a great number of people at extremely inexpensive prices- $.50 for most items. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the sale by donating or volunteering as well as a special thanks to our shoppers who make the sale a success! ITEMS for SALE: Below are some examples of the wonderful things you can expect to find at our sale...all are gently used and most items are priced from 50 cents to $1.00
