Thank you to all the Sierra Club members and friends who have already signed up to volunteer during this year's Big Yard Sale week. There are still a few spots left for movers/unloaders on Big Monday 5/11/26 and sorters and sale day helpers on 5/15 and 5/16/26. We also need more salesclerks at the 5/15 and 5/16 sales to add up customer purchases. If you volunteer between 5/11-15, you are eligible to shop earlier on 5/15/26 from 5:30 - 7:30 pm with University of Richmond employees as well as on 5/16/26 with the general public. Volunteer here: The Big Yard Sale Volunteer SignUp Genius

To ensure that this year’s sale is a success, please consider sharing the sale announcement above with your friends. Anyone with a teen heading off to college, setting up an apartment or who just enjoys “thrifting” will find a lot of great bargains on clothing and household items at the sale. Come see us at the University of Richmond on May 16th from 8 am – 12 pm and bring a friend!

Thank you!

Date/Time: Sunday, 6/7/26, 5:00 - 7:00 PM
Location: Sierra Club FOJG Picnic and Plant Swap at the Carillon Shelter in William Byrd Park (600 S Arthur Ashe Blvd, Richmond, VA 23220)

Bring a potluck dish to share and extra plants if you are a gardener! Natives preferred but we will take anything! Enjoy good food, new plants, and hanging out with fellow Sierrans and environmental supporters. Since we are all good environmentalists, please bring your own reusable utensils, plates, cups, napkins, and a beverage.
