Medfield’s Biggest and Best Annual Yard, Bake & Book Sale

It’s That Time of Year Again! Medfield’s Biggest and Best Annual Yard, Bake & Book Sale.

The Council on Aging and FOSI’s Premiere Fund Raiser is scheduled for Saturday, May 2nd from 8:00am - 2:00pm.

Start planning now for the annual Friends of Medfield Seniors (FOSI)/Council on Aging (COA) Yard, Bake & Book Sale, scheduled for Saturday, May 2 at the Center at Medfield, from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. The FOSI-sponsored fundraiser will support many programs and needs of the Medfield Council on Aging.

This special event has grown over the years to be the major fundraising activity of the year for our seniors. And it is a much anticipated event, as evidenced by the line of people waiting to come into the Center each year when the doors open. Medfield COA Director Roberta Lynch emphasizes how much the COA relies on community support for the Yard Sale each year. “Our success is not possible without the donations we receive. It is the ongoing public support that allows us to have a great sale each year.”

Many contributors have come to count on the annual COA Yard Sale as an opportunity to donate items they’ve been saving specifically for the Sale. Many residents even set aside a box which they designate as their “COA Yard Sale Box” and use it to collect items throughout the year that go directly to the sale. It’s that kind of dedication and reliability that make the Yard Sale such a great fundraising event.

That’s why residents are encouraged to donate items that can be sold at the Yard Sale. With your help, we should be able to accumulate more than enough items so we can have the best Yard Sale ever. And it’s important to remember that the proceeds from this event will be earmarked for COA programs and events.

Yard Sale items can be dropped off at the Center beginning Friday, April 24 between 8:30am-1:00 pm, Saturday, April 25 between 10:00 am -2:00 pm and during regular business hours the following week until 11:00 a.m. on Friday before the sale.

We accept and appreciate all gently used items except for computers, printers and clothing. Unique items are always appealing to our shoppers.

Be a part of this great event and help the Medfield COA at the Center at Medfield, on May 2 from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm, rain or shine. Support FOSI, which supports the COA, and make this the best Yard Sale ever!
