Riverview Community Centre Garage Sale

Riverview Garage Sales are back again this June to support our beloved Riverview Community Centre.

By donating used, but useable, goods to the sale, you have an opportunity to create more space and less clutter in your home, as well as support the RVCC. By assisting with the sale, you can connect again with your neighbours in Riverview.

There are 4 ways you can help:

1. Hold a yard or garage sale at your own home on June 1st, and donate 10% of sales to RVCC. They will provide you with a lawn sign and balloons, and do extensive multi-media advertising to bring in shoppers.

2. Donate saleable goods to RVCC and they will be sold there on June 1 (all proceeds to RVCC). You may drop off sale goods at the community centre to the main floor storage room daily 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., or behind the bicycle rack near the front doors, if they are locked.

Sorry, but RVCC cannot accept magazines, encyclopedias or textbooks, TVs, computers, printers, tires, child car seats, stuffed animals, mattresses, sofas, golf clubs, skis, large appliances, or broken or musty items, as these items do not sell at a garage sale.

RVCC is also not accepting clothing, boots or shoes at this time.

Final day to donate goods is Thursday, May 30th at 5pm.

3. Volunteer to assist at the RVCC sale on May 30, 31 and/or June 1. RVCC especially needs assistance setting up on Thursday, May 30, starting at 9 a.m., and packing up on Saturday at 3 p.m. after the sale. After the pack-up, they need to break down boxes, recycle, and clean the main hall (about 5 p.m.).  

4. Visit your neighbourhood sales on June 1 for fabulous bargains not available at any shopping mall. RVCC had a very successful sale last year, and this year promises to be the same. Come see for yourself why Winnipeg is known as “The Garage Sale Capital of Canada!”

Mark your calendar and please plan to participate in this pan-community event.
