Brockville General Volunteer Association’s Great Big Yard Sale!

The Volunteer Association is back with a bang and hoping to start raising funds again to purchase hospital equipment with their forthcoming ‘Great Big Yard Sale’.

• Date: Saturday, July 24
• Time: 8:40 a.m. to 1 p.m. 
• Location: 1369 Briarwood Drive, Brockville
• Cash only — no holds. Covid precautions in place and masks are required.

“We’ve had so many donations of books, puzzles, decorative items, household goods, baking dishes, dishes, seasonal sports, lawn equipment and a couple of kitchen appliances!” says Donna Shram, Association President.

“It’s certainly the largest yard sale we’ve put together for some time. The monies that we raise, from our fundraising events, café and gift shop (when they are able to reopen) are given to the hospital to buy much needed medical equipment.”
