WSCC Fall Rummage and Bake Sale
|
The West Suffield Congregational Church will be holding its fall rummage and bake sale on Saturday, October 5 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Donations can be dropped off at the church at 1408 Mountain Rd. West Suffield on October 1-4 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. or by appointment calling Scott Miller 860-463-7827. We are asking that all donations be in clean, usable condition, and we do not accept any upholstered furniture or large appliances. The church hopes that the sale can continue to benefit the entire community by providing necessary items at a reasonable price, recycling/rehoming items instead of filling the landfill while also assisting the church in maintaining its annual budget needs.
