St. Thomas More Catholic Church has had an annual Garage Sale since 1985. Other than a brief pause during the pandemic, it has continued. The Garage Sale Team is made up of the Knights of Columbus who do the collecting and set up and the St. Thomas More Ladies who sort and price items acceptable for sale. Any items found unacceptable are discarded.

The Garage Sale is held by design mid-August. This gives the new or returning college students an opportunity to find quality items at a good price. Once the Garage Sale is finished local charities are given the opportunity to take items at no cost.
