How can the stuff in your attic and basement
 bring you a tax deduction, help you with your spring cleaning, and help the Defenders' environmental programs? 

By donating that stuff to the Defenders! The Fundraising Committee currently uses a few different venues to get the most bang from your donated items. During the warmer months, we run Waste-Not garage sales, where we can sell anything from old pots and pans to VCRs. We offer the more collectible things for auction on eBay, Amazon, and Craigslist. And throughout the winter months, we run a used book sale. 

You can participate in three ways: First by donating your used but useable things, second by shopping at the garage sales and bidding on eBay items, and third by volunteering your time to help!  

What type of things can we accept? Antiques and collectibles, household items, books, tools, dishes, pots and pans, dressers and tables, etc. Just about anything, with a few exceptions - small appliances & electronics must be in working order, we cannot take clothes, upholstered furniture, televisions, or large appliances. Computer monitors are only accepted as a part of a complete computer set-up. Not sure if we can take it? Call the office and ask, or email us.

When we are auctioning items on eBay, they will be shown HERE. Click on "items for sale".

What kind of volunteer help do we need? The garage sales always need people on drop-off days (second Saturday of the month) to accept donations, clean, price, and display (The better the items are cleaned and displayed, the more they will sell for), and on the sale days (third Friday & Saturday of the month) to help buyers and take money. 

We look forward to seeing you all at the sales or online!
