Rescue Ranch is bringing back one of its popular fundraisers, its community garage sale.

The public garage sale will be held Saturday, March 4, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at a new location — 165 Jennings Road in Statesville.

“We’re excited to bring this fun community event back,” said Krissie Newman, co-founder and president of the nonprofit organization. “This is a great time to donate unwanted items for another family to enjoy or to find some ‘new to you’ goods at a great price, all while supporting Rescue Ranch’s programs and animal ambassadors.”

All proceeds from the sale will benefit the nonprofit animal welfare organization which promotes respect for all animals through education; is committed to agricultural, environmental and wildlife conservation; and facilitates rehabilitation, rescue, and responsible pet ownership in order to enhance the human-animal bond.

Those interested in donating items to the sale can drop them off every Thursday and Sunday through Sunday, February 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 165 Jennings Road. Donors will receive a tax receipt for all donations.

The following items are needed: Art, bicycles, books, clothing (preferably women/children), electronics, furniture, holiday items, home décor, housewares, home goods, jewelry, lawn/garden items, office/school supplies, patio furniture, pet supplies, small appliances and more.

Unique to this year, donations of scrap metal are also being accepted: Air conditioners, aluminum cans, appliances, automobiles with title, bed frames, bikes, cast iron, cooper wire, grills, siding/gutters, stainless steel, tire rims without tires and more.

Items not being accepted: Mattresses, oversize furniture, tires, and TVs.

Volunteers

Volunteers are also needed to accept donations, organize items for the sale, and to assist the day of the event. For more information on volunteering or questions on donated items, contact Joanne Boyle (856) 889-6828.
