Take home big bargains while raising scholarship money for the children of McKinney’s first responders on Saturday, Sept. 20 at the McKinney Ladies Association’s community-wide Fall Yard Sale fundraiser.

MLA’s semiannual community-wide yard sale fundraisers always draw hundreds of shoppers. Items for sale will include children’s and adults’ clothing, toys, furniture, household items, collectibles, strollers, bikes, yard equipment, and much more. Barbecue concessions will also be for sale.

Shoppers are asked to donate $1 to enter the sale in the parking lot of Stonebridge United Methodist Church, 1800 S. Stonebridge Drive in McKinney. Be sure to get there early for the best bargains. The sale begins at 7 a.m. (rain or shine) and ends at noon Sept. 20.

“We advise shoppers to bring lots of $1 and $5 bills, since all items are priced to sell and usually require only small amounts of cash for purchase,” says MLA Yard Sale Chairwoman Connie Hollstein-Drexel. “Bringing small bills will ensure you can take home the treasures you find – because often our sellers cannot break large bills.

“Another good tip is for shoppers to bring along recycled or plastic grocery store bags so they can easily carry their purchases,” Hollstein-Drexel adds.

Proceeds benefit college scholarships for the children of McKinney’s finest. During MLA’s most recent sale this past spring, the women’s group raised $5,000 for scholarships for McKinney first responders’ children.
