Friday hours will run from 3 to 7 p.m.
Saturday’s sale begins at 7 a.m.
Items for sale include office furniture, household goods and furniture, even Christmas decorations.
Proceeds from the sale will benefit COAT’s food pantry. While the postal food drive in May added more than 5,000 pounds of food, it seems the food is going out faster than it comes in, said COAT Executive Director Rita Walker.
Volunteers also are needed Friday and Saturday.
Food items may be taken to the COAT office from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. COAT is located at the corner of Main and Frazier streets, inside First Baptist Church. Needed food items include peanut butter, canned meats and fruits, dried beans, rice and flour.
The pantry has adequate green beans and corn.
