Community-Wide Garage Sale

Dupaco's Community-Wide Garage Sale events in Dubuque, Manchester, and Platteville have now passed. Good sales were had and good deals were made. Make plans to get involved next year by either hosting or shopping garage sales! Stay tuned to this page for details of the 2011 Community-Wide Garage Sale events.

Why a garage sale? As a credit union, Dupaco is about people, thrift, and the community. That's also what the Community-Wide Garage Sale is about, and why it's a perfect fit for Dupaco.

As part of the event, area residents are encouraged to participate in either of the following ways:

1) Host a registered sale.
Those who host a sale as part of the Community-Wide Garage Sale and register their sale in advance (either online or at any Dupaco Community Credit Union location) will receive a complimentary Garage Sale Kit, available for pickup at any branch location. All registered sale locations will be included in a Community-Wide Garage Sale Shoppers’ Directory. Registering a sale is absolutely FREE, and is a community service made possible by Dupaco and garage sale sponsors in each community.

2) Shop at local garage sales.
As garage sales are registered, their locations—along with a description of sale items—will be posted for online viewing. This listing will allow shoppers to plan their agendas weeks in advance. To assist shoppers in locating registered sale locations quickly and easily on the day of the event, Community-Wide Garage Sale Shoppers’ Directories will be available through The Dubuque Advertiser for the Dubuque Sale, The Platteville Journal for the Platteville Sale, and The Manchester Press for the Manchester Sale. Directories will include a map of registered locations as well as information on sale hours and featured items. Extra copies of these complimentary directories will also be available to the general public at all Dupaco locations.
