February 6, 2021Announcing our 2021 series of Virtual Yard sales.
A joint project of the Carlington Community Chaplaincy and the Ottawa Y Service club.
How it will work!
Both the Chaplaincy and the Y Service club have received donations of items for use in raising funds. Some of the higher value items were available in the 2020 Virtual Auction when we raised $1500 for the work of the Chaplaincy.
We currently have a good selection of items, mostly under $30, and we plan to offer these for sale online. They are either new or gently used and normally would have been sold at a gift table at the annual Chaplaincy dinner in November.
Starting in February, we will provide those who register a page of available items, with photos and prices shown. This will be shared by email and posted on the Chaplaincy web site. The actual sale will start at 9 a.m. each Saturday morning and the first purchase offer we receive will be accepted and the item will be withdrawn.
Payment can be made by e transfer or a cheque provided before or at pick up at the end of the month, from the Chaplaincy office. Use yservice@primus.ca to make payments. Cheques should be made out to the Ottawa Y Service club.
If you need the item as a gift for a special occasion, we can arrange an earlier pickup date. Otherwise, we will ask you to wait to collect all your purchase in one visit.
