On Saturday September 14, the Community Life Uniting Church team held one of their most successful garage sales in Ellen Grove.
Hundreds of families turned up early, all excited to find some great bargains while supporting a meaningful cause and church that supports so many locals throughout the year.
Many dug deep, as every dollar raised went directly back to the church that will help some of the community’s most vulnerable residents, especially with Christmas just around the corner.
Throughout the day, the volunteers were thrilled to see the community coming together and supporting each other, whether it was finding a great deal, enjoying coffee at Chatz Café, or exploring the op shop full of hidden gems.
By the end of the day, many of the remaining items were even given away for free, thanks to the generosity of the church.
The hardworking volunteers made sure everything ran smoothly with many staying until the end to help with the cleanup.
Residents are always welcome to donate any new items or items in good condition, visit Chatz Cafe, or simply visit the op shop next time you’re driving past.
