The Schenectady Jewish Community Center is hosting a big community garage sale on Sunday, February 18, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Schenectady JCC’s Golub auditorium located at 2565 Balltown Road. Proceeds from this event will go directly to the Schenectady JCC Camp Chaverim’s Yurt project, which aims to raise funds to build an outdoor, three-season yurt at Camp Chaverim to be used by the camp as a programming location.

Garage sale attendees will be able to shop for both new and gently used items. Some items that will be for sale include children’s items, books, electronics, clothing, toys, household items, sporting goods and more.

Early bird admission to the community garage sale starts at 8:30 a.m., and there is a $5 entry fee. The bag sale will begin at 1:15 p.m. All sales are cash only.

The addition of the yurt to Camp Chaverim will serve as the home base for the Schenectady JCC’s Israeli Culture Specialist to continue to connect campers with Israel each summer. It will also offer a three-season space for the Schenectady JCC’s Early Childhood programs for Shabbat gatherings, a communal space for after school programs, and provide opportunities for seniors to gather for programs as well.
