This annual event is presented each year by the Yosemite Gateway Association of Realtors®.  This occasion brings together Realtors®, Affiliates, Service Providers, and community members to work towards a common goal of giving back to the local community.  Each year a local charity is chosen to be the recipient of the proceeds of the Monster Rummage Sale.

2008's beneficiary, Manna House, was presented with a check for $16,000. as well as a “mountain of food” on October 9th. “The overwhelming response from our volunteers and the community made this the largest event ever” says Shelly Adkins.  “We had over 150 volunteers that made this event such a success and the indoor location this year gave us time to get so organized it was like a department store.”

Over the past 8 years the charity recipients included local volunteer fire departments, Hinds Hospice, local SPCA, Boys and Girls Club, The Sheriff’s department Operation Lost and Found and Citizens on patrol, The Learning Center also known as TLC and Helping Hands Pregnancy and Parenting Center.  During those 8 years over $81,000. was given back to our community through these organizations along with the opportunity for local folks to shop for and purchase some great items at a great price.
