At World’s Biggest Garage Sale, we are bringing about positive change and impact for People and Planet in equal measure. We are a team of people who are bound together in a passion to really make a difference & create meaningful impact daily on a grand scale. When our grandchildren ask us where we were when our beautiful planet and the vulnerable in our community really needed us, we will look back and say “We showed up and made a difference.”
The strength of World’s Biggest Garage Sale depends on the thousands of people who have dedicated their time to our mission. Through our community events, experiences and partnerships, we’re making circular practices the social norm and creating a better future for the next generation.
