🕛 Thursday & Friday: 12 PM – 6 PM
🕘 Saturday & Sunday: 9 AM – 6 PM
This is becoming more than just a garage sale — we are working to make it a large community event filled with shopping, vendors, handmade items, baked goods, food trucks, and local small businesses coming together to support women, children, and families in our care.
Are you, or do you know, a local small business, crafter, baker, artist, or vendor who would like to partner with us during the event? We would love to work together and help highlight local community talent while supporting Catholic Worker House.
We are also currently looking for:
• White folding tables
• Volunteers willing to help cover the sale in 2-hour blocks

Room 5 has been completely transformed—fresh paint on the walls, new shelving, sturdy kick plates, and every patch and repair done with care. What was once worn is now renewed, warm, and welcoming.
