You never know what you’ll find at the Lismore Presbyterian Church trash and treasure sale.

After a hiatus of being closed for a few months, the trash and treasure sale at St Paul’s Memorial Hall on Keen Street has reopened today – complete with BBQ set up on the outside lawn.

There are books, clothes, toys, plants, kitchen gear and even furniture - and you can go back tomorrow too.

If you take the time to look through the piles and racks of clothes and bric-a-brack, you are bound to find something that you need or didn’t even realise you wanted.

According to the sale volunteer organiser Don, people have been using the Covid down-time to clear out their houses and donate their old belongings to the church fundraiser sale.

The sale will be on for five days this time, rather than just the usual once a month on the second Friday of the month.

The sale will continue 8am until 3pm, on Thursday June 11, Friday June 12, Saturday June 13 and then again on Monday and Tuesday next week (June 15 and 16).

Don said they were taking the opportunity to have more open days for the sale to raise funds for the local church before church services resume and the hall is rented out again.

Don said a handful of dedicated church volunteers were busy yesterday setting up the donated goods in the large church hall.

The elderly volunteers said they were not worried about Covid-19, because they were distanced from everyone, there are clear in and out pathways to and from the hall, and all surfaces were regularly cleaned.
