Rummage Collection

Mandatory Meeting

We will collect rummage sale donations again from the Kenyon College dormitories at the end of the spring semester. The collection process this year is all new and very different! There are only four volunteer days--May 10, 11, 12, and 16--but we need shifts of volunteers into the early evening each of those days. If you want to start or continue as a Harcourt Parish Rummage Sale collection volunteer, you must attend an organizational meeting to discuss the new procedures and sign up for the collection schedule. This meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 29, at 7pm at the Parish House. Contact Kachen Kimmell with any questions.
