The Junior League of Santa Barbara (JLSB) will host its annual Rummage Sale, 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, March 14 at Carrillo Recreation Center.

There will be a special pre-sale shopping event, a bargain hunter’s dream, 6-9 p.m. Friday, March 13, also at Carrillo Recreation Center. Tickets for Friday’s pre-sale are $20 each or $80 for a bundle of five.

Established in 1934, the community-based sale is one of Santa Barbara’s longest standing charity events. It benefits the JLSB’s mission and provides low-cost, new and gently used merchandise to the community at affordable prices.

This is Santa Barbara’s largest indoor garage sale boasting thousands of new, almost-new and gently-used items for sale including: baby items, clothing for all, art, housewares, appliances, kitchen and dining wares, the Junior League reports.

Funds raised support the JLSB’s current signature projects, S.A.F.E. and Living Arrows. S.A.F.E. House is a six-bed residential shelter in Santa Barbara County for girls under 18 who are survivors of sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.

Living Arrows consists of  two licensed six-bed residential shelters in Santa Barbara County, for transition age youth (TAY) both boys and girls, that have been tailored to meet the ongoing therapeutic needs of survivors of commercial sexual exploitation who are aged 18-21.

Funds from the sale also support training for JLSB members to be effective community leaders.  

JLSB proactively addresses human trafficking in Santa Barbara County by improving the lives of at-risk youth by educating and empowering them to reach their full potential while working to prevent exploitation and injustice in our community.
