Since 2007 the city sale diverts items from landfills during summer lease changes, with proceeds aiding 38 local nonprofits. More than 3,000 shoppers joined last year, and organizers expect growth this year.
A weekend rummage sale in the Chauncey Swan ramp ground floor at 460 E. Washington St. runs 8am-8pm Saturday and noon-8pm Sunday with a 4pm Sunday name your price sale. Profits support Abundance, Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity and United Action for Youth, plus local artists upcycle donated items into art for display. Food vendors will join both weekends, and organizers highlight the event as an eclectic Iowa City festival with items ranging from furniture to toys. Next Sunday is the final day.
