2024 Rummage Sale Serve Sign-Up
Serve Dates for Rummage: June 9 - 15
Shop Dates for Rummage: June 13 & 14
Thank you for being willing to serve at the 2024 Rummage Sale!
Proceeds from the Rummage Sale go to help women, children, and families on the margins right here in Kansas City. In fact, over the past nine years, United Women in Faith at Resurrection has raised over half a million dollars to provide aid to agencies on the ground here in KC. All this generosity was made possible by those of you who graciously volunteered at the Rummage Sale!
About The Sale
The Rummage Sale is run by volunteers. This is an incredible opportunity to serve in a way where you know what you’re doing makes a difference.
The items for sale are made available through donations. This makes it possible for all the money collected to go to support agencies that work with women, children, and families on the margins here in Kansas City. We begin donation drop-offs on the Sunday before the sale, volunteers pick up donations, and then an army of volunteers prepare all the donations to be sold. The Sale runs Thursday and Friday, and then Saturday all remaining items are donated to local agencies.
