We look forward to seeing many volunteers for the return of our Rummage Sale!
Dates:
Friday, August 22, 2025, 10AM – 4PM
Saturday, August 23, 2025, 9AM – 2PM
This is a wonderful outreach service as we re-sell items at a reasonable price and we give items to charities who need them. Together, our community is caring for God’s creation by re-using, re-cycling and re-purposing items. Below is a list of items we are collecting so please read on.
Donation collections start Sunday, August 3rd.
Sundays, Tuesdays & Thursday evenings, 6-8PM in the Parish Center Gym.
Thank you for your support of the St. Simon Community Rummage sale! We look forward to seeing you in August. Pattie Sharrow and Nancy Perkins

BEFORE DONATING, PLEASE CONSIDER:
- Is this something someone can wear? Do not bring us anything if you would not want to wear it yourself.
- Is the item in good condition? Only donate items that another family can use again.
- Is this old and outdated? Please recycle items like that, do not bring them to us as we do not have a dumpster.
LARGE OR SPECIAL ITEMS TO DONATE?
Please tell us about it at pnbsharrow@gmail.com because in the past we have had good luck with a very nice ping pong table, a large play structure for the yard and a few other items which were transferred between the donor and the buyer directly and the donor sent the check to the Parish Office after picking up the item from the donor’s home.
RUMMAGE REJECTS – THESE ITEMS DO NOT SELL. DO NOT DONATE THESE. WE DO NOT HAVE A DUMPSTER TO DISPOSE OF ITEMS.
