Angels for Animals' biggest fundraiser to help animals opens April 22

CANFIELD

From its humble beginnings in a chicken coop to today’s $3 million facility filled with volunteers and staff dedicated to rescuing abused, neglected and abandoned animals, Angels for Animals has always relied on the generosity of its donors.

Among its most-popular fundraisers is the annual Giant Garage Sale at the Canfield Fairgrounds.

The 22nd garage sale, made up completely of donated items and volunteer time, helps Angels fund the Green Township facility and take on more rescues, said Carrie Brown, Angels for Animals general manager.

Last year, Brown said, the sale raised $110,000. With the new admission prices and thousands of square feet of bargains, she hopes to top that amount this year.

“It gives us the opportunity to help the animals a little more,” Brown said.

The sale has expanded from five to six buildings at the fairgrounds, 7265 Columbiana-Canfield Road, for this year’s April 22-24 sale.
