Miracle Fund Yard Sale 2023

ST. ANN’S MIRACLE FUND YARD SALE 2023

The Miracle Fund Yard Sale is returning to St Ann’s once again on Friday, August 25h and Saturday, August 26th from 7:30 am to 1:00 pm.  We are excited to provide this opportunity for the parish to come together and support this event.  Not only are we raising funds for parishioners in crisis, we are cleaning out our homes of unwanted, gently used items that others may find useful.  Please review the donation guidelines so that we have quality items available for sale and to help our Miracle Workers with their tasks of sorting, pricing and displaying the donated items.
