Broadway Christian Church is opening its doors once again for Show-Me Central Habitat for Humanity’s 36th annual garage sale.
The over-20,000-square-foot space will feature various donated items on Saturday morning, including furniture, electronics and clothing.
Event organizers tell ABC 17 News they are happy with the turnout.
“They were lined up all the way to Broadway,” Organizer Linda Poehlman said. “They come from far and wide, it’s family, friends, community, anyone who would like to work.”
According to a press release from Show Me Central Habitat for Humanity, all proceeds from the event will go to housing opportunities. The event raised $40,000 in 2025, which went toward building materials for home construction.
Donated items were accepted from April 9 through April 10. Volunteers have also been assisting with collecting, sorting and setting up the sale.
“Whether you give, serve, or shop, you are part of something bigger that changes lives,” the release says.
The Show Me Central Habitat for Humanity’s website reports that 172 homes have been built since its founding in 1988.
The Show-Me Central Habitat ReStore collects and sells donated items year-round and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Unsold items will be donated to the ReStore or recycled at local material reclaim facilities.
The garage sale event will run from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Cash and checks are accepted.
