The UNICO Annual Garage Sale is always the Thursday through Saturday after Labor Day. Thanks to all who participated in any way: donations, pickup, sorting, pricing, moving, cleaning.

We’re already gathering items for the next fall garage sale. We accept items all year long. We will pick them up. We are looking for consignment quality items that are not broken or damaged. Obsolete items that are not antiques such as electronics, TVs are not wanted because they do not sell and we are charged a fee to dipose of them.

Proceeds from this sale are used for college scholarships.

We are a charitable organization. Your donation is TAX DEDUCTIBLE. Give us your cars, boats, large resaleable items are most appreciated.

Thanks to Bob Mannella for keeping this fundraising event happening. Please contact Bob to help with this event or arrange donations.
