Maine Township residents can reserve space for the Annual Maine Township Community Garage Sale beginning Monday, August 13. The date for all others is Monday, August 20.
The deadline for reserving space is Friday, September 14.
Donated merchandise will be sold by Maine Township staff to help raise funds.
Donations of small working electronics, children’s games, children’s furniture and accessories, garden tools and small hand tools are especially needed. Drop-offs will be accepted from September 26 to September 29 but not beforehand.
Maine Township will NOT accept donations of clothes, large and/or heavy furniture, firearms, explosives or any type of weapons.
Residents can participate in several ways. People can reserve space to sell their own treasures, make a donation of cash or merchandise to the Garage Sale or come by and shop on the day of the sale. Spaces, which are eight by sixteen feet, are $20 each. Table rentals are available for $10.
Proceeds benefit the MaineStay Adventure Camp for disadvantaged youth and the Township’s Emergency Food Pantry.
“This annual event is not only fun, but also raises money for two worthy causes,” says Supervisor Carol A. Teschky. “We encourage our Township residents to participate, to give financial support, or just come by to shop.”
The event is organized by the MaineStay Department of Maine Township and sponsored by Chicagoland Senior News, Journal & Topics Newspapers, Liberty Bank for Savings, Parkway Bank, Highway Commissioner, Robert Provenzano, ARC Disposal and Park Ridge Taxi/Community Cab.
