The three-day garage event starts at 9 a.m. on April 11 through April 13 at the Canfield Fairgrounds.

If you’re interested in volunteering, call or text (330) 502-3796.

For the garage sale, community members can drop off donated items starting April 5 and April 6 at the Canfield Fairgrounds to support Angels for Animals.

Coordinators are asking for items that are clean, ready to sell and donated clothing brought on hangers or folded in boxes.

“Your giveaway items could be someone else’s treasures, and bring in much needed donations to Angels,” the organization wrote.
