St. Michael’s Episcopal Church will soon be hosting its annual Terrific Tag Sale, which has been taking place annually since 1993 (with the pandemic exception, 2020). Tag sale coordinator, Liz Vick, says “Spring has arrived, and with it comes everyone’s favorite tag sale at St. Michael’s” on 16 Bradley Ave, Saturday, May 4, 8:30 am to 2 pm.

This year the proceeds from the sale will benefit Loaves and Fishes, a Brattleboro community meals program whose mission and work is “to feed anyone who is hungry and food insecure.” Loaves and Fishes, located in Centre Congregational Church in Brattleboro, is a non-profit committed to providing food, both as prepared meals and as groceries, for anyone who needs it, free of charge. Twice a week approximately 20 local volunteers prepare, serve, package, and deliver more than 350 hot meals and 60-75 bags of groceries to area people in their homes, in hospice care, in senior housing, in shelters or transitional housing, or who show up at the Loaves and Fishes door on Tuesday and Friday mornings.

The St. Michael’s Tag Sale offers, says Vick, “a vast array of good-quality items: summer and winter clothing and shoes for young and old; dishes, pots and pans, and other housewares; lamps, furniture, and beautiful linens for bed and bath; plus good books, jewelry, and sporting goods. Displays of various goods will be both downstairs in the church building and outdoors under big tents. We will be selling some items (furniture, sporting goods, jewelry) at set prices, and everything else will be available on a “take what you need, give what you can” basis with requests for financial donations to benefit Loaves and Fishes.”

Additionally, there will be delicious homemade soups, grilled hotdogs, and baked goods for sale at reasonable prices at the Tag Sale Café.

On May 4, “come and find just what you need at the St. Michael’s Tag Sale,” says Vick. “Enjoy the festive atmosphere; eat some good food; and feel great that you are also supporting the amazing work of Loaves and Fishes!”

St. Michael’s Episcopal Church is at 16 Bradley Ave., the corner of Putney Rd., in Brattleboro. The site is handicapped accessible.
