White Elephant Sale

Major Fund Raiser Since 1937

The Grand Rapids Y Service Club's major fund raiser and a Grand Rapids institution since 1937, the sale happens most often the last Friday and Saturday of April each year. Location varies year to year – it depends on what space is available! 

It’s one of the largest rummage sales in Western Michigan. This two-day sale provides one with a wide variety of choices including home and office furniture, hardware, building supplies, housewares, seasonal decorations, sporting equipment, books, fabric and carpet, clothing, valuables, and a whole lot more.

We usually begin collecting donations from businesses, estates sales, manufacturers AND YOU – your extras from garage, closets, basement, storage barn – early in the new year. We can arrange for pickup of large items with our big White Elephant Truck. Otherwise, we have hours to drop off your goodies. 

All profits, after operating expenses, go to YMCA Camp Manitou-Lin to help support special capital projects. We have donated upwards of $50,000 - $70,000 annually over the past several years. Projects we’ve supported include helping make the waterfront accessible for special needs campers, upgrading the ropes courses and outdoor cooking pavilion, and the launch of the Willem Center education building.
