PAST PROJECTS

3rd Annual Garage Sale Fundraiser to benefit Gathering Humanity

Our MAEVE Tempe/West Mesa moms group hosted a Women's/Baby/Kids Garage Sale on Saturday March 9th from 7am-11am.

Leftover items from the sale and 50% of the proceeds went to Gathering Humanity to support their Refugee Baby Shower on April 20th. Learn more about Gathering Humanity

Our 3rd Annual Garage Sale Fundraiser was our most successful event yet! We made over $1350 in sales to split between our nonprofit and Gathering Humanity.

We were able to donate over $500 worth of items for the upcoming Gathering Humanity Refugee Baby Shower AND another four vehicle loads were donated to Treasurers 4 Teachers! PLUS we served our community by offering an absolute steal on some amazing clothes, books, toys and gear.

THANK YOU to all who donated their time, skills, and items. Another big thanks to those who lent us tables and other gear and those who spread the word about the sale. It was a group effort!

Even More Thank Yous:

Shoutout to MOPS and La Casita Preschool for donating items leftover from their previous garage sales! Many of our members reached out to their local Buy Nothing groups for donations and we are so thankful! Thank you Lexie for coordinating donation pickups for Gathering Humanity! Thank you Ashaell for setting up Rascals’ Cafe for the kids to sell donuts and water at the sale. Thank you to our MAEVE Garage Sale Planning Committee for all your hard work to make this sale a success! Huge thanks to Courtney & the Rankin family for hosting the event, managing drop offs of donations, and using your garage to store items prior to the sale! 

Cheers and hope to see you at next year’s Garage Sale Fundraiser!
