JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas –
Residents of Randolph Family Housing – especially those who are preparing for a permanent change of station – will have an opportunity to sell some of their household goods during the next community garage sale set for 8 a.m. July 23.
Randolph Family Housing schedules the garage sales about three times a year, typically during PCS season, said Allison Cook, Randolph Family
Housing community director. The garage sales allow residents who are leaving Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph to lighten their load before their move, but other residents may also take advantage of the events.
Cook said a map showing the location of homes designated for the garage sale will be emailed to family housing residents prior to the event.
Residents can sign up for the sale and have their homes placed on the map by calling the family housing office at 659-9061.
“Residents are welcome to put things out without calling us, but we can facilitate their sale by placing them on the map,” she said.
Randolph Family Housing resident guidelines forbid individual yard sales, but allows neighborhood yard sales with the approval of the family housing office, which sponsors, coordinates, markets and organizes the events.
Cook said residents who take part in the garage sales sell a variety of items, from housewares, furniture and toys to bicycles, electronics and sports equipment. They also set their own prices.
“All they have to do is place their items on their lawns,” she said. “They can also use tables if they desire.”
Because this garage sale is scheduled in the thick of PCS season, Cook said she expects a dozen or more families to sell household goods.
Also, anyone with base access is welcome to shop at the multiple sites.
The garage sale requires no permits or fees, Cook said.
