Welcome!

Different from our past recycle sales, we're again offering this exciting venue to share wonderful local merchant goods and services with our members/family/friends and those living in the larger Ithaca community.  Our goal is to find new homes for all of these items while raising money to support our ministry and work.  All proceeds benefit the First Unitarian Society of Ithaca.
