Winnetka Congregational Church Rummage

Communication Plan Developer

Although the Winnetka Congregational Church Rummage Sale has a long history of contributing to the community, many people may not know about it, so we would like to develop a plan to reach people who are not familiar with it.

We are looking for volunteers who can assist with:

-developing a comprehensive Communications Plan to support the operation and promotion of the WCC Rummage Sale to multiple audiences including traditional and social media

Volunteer Database Setup and Maintenance

The Winnetka Congregational Church Rummage Sale has many volunteers working in various departments and capacities, and we would like to be able to communicate with them efficiently.

We are looking for volunteers who can assist with:

-setting up contact software such as Mail Chimp or other appropriate software
-moving current email information from current to new contact lists
-reviewing lists of volunteers to update their contact information

On-Line Sales

Rummage often receives specialty items which may have significant value to a limited audience. On-line selling can extend our audience and sometimes be better for special or seasonal or bulky items.

We are looking for volunteers who can:

–pick up items from the Rummage office

–photograph and post items for sale on sites like Virtual Garage Sale, NextDoor or EBay

–transact the sale

–arrange for pickup at your home, or at Rummage if necessary

Time commitment: flexible.

All volunteers are eligible to earn pre-shopping privileges.

If you have further questions, or to volunteer, please call 847 446-0575 or email us at wccrummage@gmail.com

Electronics Recycler

–transport them to the Winnetka Village Yard on Thursdays March 29-November 15, 1-3 pm, or to Best Buy whenever their stores are open

Time commitment: 2-10 hours per month
