VALDOSTA — Valdosta Junior Service League hosts the Eighth Annual Tossed and Found thrift sale, presented by AmeriMed, 7 a.m.-noon Saturday, March 2, Mathis City Auditorium, 2300 N. Ashley St.
The thrift sale benefits many non-profit organizations in the Valdosta-Lowndes County community, organizers said.
Shoppers can expect to find a wide assortment of furniture, home accessories, toys, electronics, sporting goods, books, etc.
“We have been collecting items all year. We’re very excited about our selection and the sale,” said Leigh Ann Burgess, Tossed and Found chairman. “Follow our Facebook page for previews of items prior to the sale.”
Tickets are $3, cash only. Sale hours are 7-10:45 a.m. From 11a.m.-noon, admission is free and all items are 50 percent off.
The $5 Stuff-A-Sack sale takes place during this hour. For the Stuff-A-Sack sale, shoppers purchase a reusable shopping tote for $5, and any items that fit in the tote are theirs for no extra cost.
Doors will close between 10:45 a.m. and 11 a.m. to prepare for the half-off and Stuff-A-Sack sales. Tossed and Found is cash only. Children 10 and younger are free.
Proceeds from the sale fund the Valdosta Junior Service League’s community-based programs.
“Through Tossed and Found, we try to serve the community in two ways: first, by making quality used goods available to the community at low prices and, second, by raising money through those sales to support local non-profit organizations,” said Ashley Mock, League president.
Tickets are available at the door or at any of the pre-sale locations. Pre-sale ticket holders skip the line and are first to enter the sale.
