May 15th – 16th Trash and Treasure Sale (May 14th Setup Day)

Cumberland County Community Complex, 1398 Livingston Rd

Thursday, May 15th from 7 am to 6 pm &
 Friday, May 16th from 7 am to 3 pm
Set up day is Wednesday, May 14th from 9 am to 6 pm

The proceeds from this annual fundraiser go to local student scholarships and TCAT USASkills sponsorship. We need donated items for the sale, volunteers to work the sale, AND food donations!  Remember, we’ll never tell if it’s store-bought and repackaged! 🤫

We also accept cash donations to purchase some food items, paper goods, sodas, etc.

Additional Ways to Help:

Last year, some of our members scoured rummage sales in their neighborhoods and let people know that we’ll gladly take any leftover items for the sale! 

Check out our social media pages – like and share the post about the sale.  Don’t forget to tell your friends and invite them to come check it out!  

Would you or someone you know like to have a vendor booth?

The event provides a limited number of tables for vendors for the two day event at a very reasonable cost. For a nominal fee, you receive a table and chairs to set up your display. We advertise the event in the local paper, social media and our website.

Download the application below and return to Mrs. Karen Shanks by May 4th!

Watch for the announcement of 2025 recipients of the Carol Conway Scholarship. Thanks to the scholarship committee members Linda Bottoms (chair), Karen Shanks and Virginia Houston.  Thanks also to CCRW Secretary Wendy Shannon for her assistance to the committee.
