The Action Center is hosting Shop for a Cause: the Beautiful Junk Sale on Sept. 28 and 29. This biannual mega thrift-sale event is held at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds located near 6th Ave. and Denver West Parkway. The sale lets shoppers rummage to find valuables, antiques, home goods, furniture, clothes and toys – all proceeds benefit The Action Center.
“This is one of our signature fundraising events,” Executive Director Pam Brier says. “Throughout the year, our community graciously donates many valuable goods. We give many clothing, food and household items to people in need. The additional donations are placed into storage and held for this unique sale where wonderful treasures can be found.”
Admission is $5 to shop Friday, Sept. 28 from 8:30 a.m. – 7 p.m. or Saturday, Sept. 29 from 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. Shoppers wanting first dibs on items can pay $30 for an early-bird admission, which begins Friday at 7 a.m. Cash is accepted at the admission door. Cash, Visa and MasterCard credit cards, and checks accepted at the check out line with the option to make an additional donation to support the charity.
“This is a fun sale and everyone that comes is sure to walkaway with something they need for their home,” Brier says. “There will be various specials happening throughout this two-day event. Plus, attendees that come will have an opportunity to hunt for hidden treasures to win a prize.”
This is The Action Center’s 84th sale, the event is now in its 41st year. The money raised supports The Action Center’s mission of helping underserved residents and the homeless get connected to clothing, food and supportive services that help them get back on their feet.
The money raised also supports the organization’s Thanksgiving food drive, holiday toy drive and school supply drive, which supports more than 20,000 underserved individuals and families in Jefferson County.
