Rummage Sale Fundraiser — Alley Kat Donation Center
It's a Rummage Sale!
Lots of home decor, clothes, art, toys, and so much more!
Watch our Facebook Page for sneak peeks!
Located Inside Alley Kat's Curiosity Shoppe
Sat, July 13th -- 10-4pm
Sun, July 14th -- 12-4pm (Half-Off Day!)
The Alley Kat Donation Center has a mission of donating and distributing goods directly to the local community. While we will still hold a once-a-month Fundraiser Rummage Sale to raise money for local charities and causes, the emphasis of the new program will be the direct distribution of goods that can benefit community organizations such as local shelters, children’s programs, and other charitable causes.
We are in the process of transforming our warehouse into a distribution center for the donated goods from the community -- this fundraiser will help us purchase shelving units and organizational supplies.
Come find some great deals and support our local community!
