Our 97th Annual Fall Rummage sale takes place on Thurs. Oct. 7th, from 7am to 3pm. The sales attract over 4,000 shoppers annually from as far away as Canada, and raise over $300K. The sale is run by 400+ volunteers, some of whom have been working the sale for over 40 years.
We accept donations all year, and recycle items that would otherwise end up in a landfill.We sell primarily to people who rely on sales like this to provide for their families’ needs, and can’t afford to pay retail.We distribute hundreds of thousands of dollars in unrestricted grants to over 70 social service organizations who serve the needy in the Chicago area.We create a sense of community by combining our Christ Church parishioners and the greater community who come together to make a difference for so many.

“I bring my truck every year to buy clothes for my children, furniture for my apartment and everything I need to keep my household going,” said one shopper, who’s been shopping the sale for 11 years. “I even buy Christmas gifts for my kids. I don’t know what my family would do without this sale!”
