"People really enjoy coming to the sales, and our volunteers really enjoy it. They find it’s fun, enjoyable, and [they enjoy] the connection with people," she said. "Last year we had around 60 volunteers, so I anticipate we’re going to have a large number."

In the past, she said local businesses have sent employees to volunteer at the fundraiser. Last year, volunteers from GE/Unison and UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital lent a hand.

All proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward Habitat for Humanity's home renovation and repair efforts.
