Parish rummage sale: volunteers needed!
What are your plans for May 9-14??
It’s the week of the (almost annual) Christ the King parish rummage sale. This sale usually raises several thousands of dollars for our parish and charities. But it only happens if fifty or more people volunteer to help with receiving goods, sorting, pricing, advertising, selling and clean-up. Helpers are needed daytime and early evenings, Monday through Saturday.
To volunteer, contact Doreen or Kay or leave your name at the Welcome Desk.
P.S. A lot of the volunteers are grey-haired and getting a little tired! Younger, stronger bodies are greatly appreciated. -
Downsizing, Moving or Estate Sale?

big tax receipt.We can help. Our team of experienced volunteers will do the work for your sale in your home or apartment. YOU get a charitable tax receipt for all proceeds. It’s a win-win deal!
- Details: The sale is at your house or apartment. You supply ready-to-sell items and your garage, lawn, home and/or yard for the sale. We also ask that the residence has a clean bathroom, running water, adequate lighting and, if possible, a working fridge for the volunteers to use.
- We organize, set up, price, display, advertise, manage the sale, and do basic clean up afterwards. We can assist with dispersal of unsold goods to charitable organizations.
Interested? Contact us before you throw away those potentially valuable items. You’d be surprised at what we can sell!
What’s in it for you? You get a charitable tax receipt for all profits while we do the work.
What’s in it for us? We have the “fun” of running a sale and raising money for our charities. We are committed to re-cycling and promoting fellowship while supporting worthy causes. Because we’re all volunteers, expenses (primarily for advertising) are extremely low, and we have a high incentive to raise maximum funds for our charities.
Who are we? We’re a group of volunteers under the sponsorship of Christ the King Parish. With over eight years of experience our group has the expertise you can count on.
Where does the money go?- Christ the King Parish to support our parish and Social Justice projects.
- The “Cuernavaca Project” supporting families in central Mexico to live healthier lives. Projects include composting toilets, safer cooking stoves, improved nutrition, job training. It is under the umbrella of the Archdiocese of Regina.
