If you’re a fan of TV scavenger shows like “Everything But the House,” then you’ll want to hurry to Freeland on Saturday, May 3 for the 60th annual “Trash and Treasure” sale at St. Augustine’s in-the-Woods Episcopal Church, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This cherished South Whidbey tradition entices shoppers to sort through a myriad of gently used goods — everything from plants to jewelry, while simultaneously raising money for local charities. Since 1962, this market has raised a quarter of a million dollars, all for Whidbey organizations. Among this year’s beneficiaries are Island Senior Resources, the Whidbey-Camano Land Trust, Whidbey Homeless Coalition, the Haven and Whidbey Island Nourishes. Following the sale, most unsold items go to Good Cheer.

The event features a “Treasure Shop” with antiques, silver, crystal, fine arts and collectibles all displayed in a special section at the large venue. Shoppers will also find “fancy housewares,” linens, jewelry, art, artifacts, office and craft supplies, DVDs, CDs, toys, sporting goods, pet supplies, furnishings, small appliances, tools and garden items.

Chapel Café offers lunch for customers who’ve worked up an appetite while hunting for their haul. Sausage rolls, soups and pie are on the menu.

“This year, for the first time, we’ll award celebratory door prizes to our guests every 60 minutes,” Trash and Treasure Co-Chair Susan Sandri said.

If you’re into spring cleaning and would like to donate items, you are encouraged to bring your gently used goods to the church. Donations may be delivered there Mondays through Fridays between 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. at 5217 South Honeymoon Bay Road, Freeland.

To bring items to the church outside of regular donation hours, contact Sandri at 360-914-2020. Items that cannot be accepted include clothing, books, magazines, computers, large exercise equipment, TVs (unless flat screen), large furniture or tires, anything broken, stained or not in working order.
