Volunteers will be on hand to accept your donation and help you with your items. As always, we will not be accepting electronics, such as TV’s, computers, printers, and the like as we cannot guarantee they are in good working order and we would hate to sell something that needed to be fixed. We will not accept any gym equipment or Christmas Trees. We have found in the past, they do not sell. If you have a questionable item, please call the Keuka Comfort Care Home at 315-536-1690, prior to our take in dates of May 27th and May 28th to avoid being turned away. We pride ourselves on having a good, clean, successful garage sale with fair prices and nice items for sale. We are still looking for volunteers who would like to help us out that week.

If you have a youth group who could help us out on Monday for a couple of hours early in the day, that would be great!
