Local residents will have an opportunity to enjoy great food, shop for bargains, and support a worthy cause during a Community Yard Sale and BBQ Fundraiser benefiting foster children and families in Chattooga County.
The Lyerly Fire Department is asking for community support as it prepares for its annual Back-to-School Bash, which provides free school supplies and book bags to local students.
The Summerville Collective is inviting the community out for a yard sale and BBQ fundraiser later this month.
The event is set for Saturday, April 25 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at 83 Highway 48 in Summerville. Organizers say attendees can expect a variety of unique items for sale along with food from the “From the Ashes BBQ and Brisket” food truck.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Summerville Collective, a Christian-based homeschool collaborative that provides academic and enrichment programs through Connect City Church.
Those interested in participating can rent a table space for $10 to sell their own items and keep the proceeds. Donations for the yard sale are also being accepted, with organizers asking donors to label items accordingly.
Organizers say the fundraiser is a great opportunity for the community to support local education efforts while enjoying food, fellowship, and bargain shopping.
