About the Bazaar: Good Goods at Great Prices

• For 60 years, several hundred River Road volunteers have transformed our building into a well-stocked department store full of high quality, gently used, donated goods sold at great prices.
• The River Road Bazaar provides affordable merchandise for shoppers from the greater community, including a large group of repeat bargain hunters and dealers.
• Proceeds fund the work of our congregation.
• Shoppers demonstrate their commitment to the environment by buying gently used goods. Plus, after the sale we actively recycle all we can to other organizations.
• All this takes place thanks to hundreds of River Road volunteers!
