First Presbyterian Fall Rummage Sale

The Presbyterian Women of the First Presbyterian Church of Birmingham will be holding their annual fall rummage sale Oct. 9-10.

Women's organizations of First Presbyterian Church have been holding rummage sales to raise funds for mission since 1906. Today's rummage sales happen twice yearly and fill the church with wonderful treasures, good food, and workers and shoppers who return year after year for the fun, the friendships, and the bargains

Shoppers and workers alike enjoy the reasonably-priced food: soups and sandwiches, salads, cookies, and the famous Rummage Sale Carrot Cake.

The primary purpose of the rummage sales has always been mission. Funds generated by the twice-yearly rummage sales support local, national, and international mission projects. But in addition, usable items that do not sell during the sale are given to local charitable organizations.
