Tastefully Simple’s community service program, Kids in the Community, is sponsoring a garage sale on Saturday, August 8 with proceeds going to the Alexandria Area YMCA.

Toys, clothing for kids, children’s shoes and additional kid items will be sold at the Knights of Columbus building from 8 a.m. until noon.

“The YMCA will provide a place for kids to build a healthy mind, spirit and body,” said LaTresse Snead, Tastefully Simple’s Community Relations Team lead. “And the kids involved in this event will gain valuable experience about raising money for a cause that will impact their lives and their community.”

The public is encouraged to support the event by making purchases or donations at the sale. The Knights of Columbus building is located at 722 6th Avenue East in Alexandria.

From cleaning local parks to planting flowers for senior citizens, the program offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities for all ages.
