Outreach – The AWESOME SALE – Leaside United Church

The Awesome Sale is held:

1 week after Thanksgiving (Oct) &

1 week before Victoria Day (May)

The times for both sales are:

Fri (3 pm-7 pm) & Sat (10 am-1 pm)

The Spring 2025 Awesome Sale is coming soon. We look forward to seeing you at the Sale! Thank you for your support!

Leaside United Church holds the Awesome Sale Event semi-annually in May and October.

This is one of the biggest community events we have. George Hurst and Bob Lister lead a team of over 80 people. These events make huge contributions to LUC’s operating budget each year and support a significant portion of the Outreach program (75% of the net proceeds from 17 departments go to local operations and 25% to outreach projects).

Just as importantly, these events allow us to reach out to our local and regional communities to provide a valuable service of recycling and reusing previously owned goods of all kinds. The event also provides for significant fellowship to the volunteers and the customers that come to visit. There is always a wonderful snack bar full of homemade goodies, with coffee and tea. Many volunteers are required to make this happen each year.

We would ask that donations be brought to the church early, cut off for donations is the week before the sale.

March 2, 2020 – Important Update!

AWESOME SALE

We are pleased to confirm there will be an Awesome Sale on Fri, May 8th from 3-7 pm and Sat, May 9th from 9 to noon. Due to the major church renovations, there will be a relocation of some departments and a dissolution of three for this sale. It is important to note that the earliest date for dropping off donated items is WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1st.

Alternative internal and external storage will be required for the successful receiving, sorting and storage of items. Donations will be received through the South door and moved quickly to a temporary storage area for later sorting.

Non-LUC attendees will be informed of the revised May Sale details via our church website, bulletin, external door signage and other local information sharing. Please note these important changes and spread the word to your families, neighbours and friends.

We believe that with the dedicated Awesome Sale team and our Sale’s wonderful legacy, we will continue to make the May Sale – a “Miracle on Millwood.”
