tag sale

about the tag sale

MAAP holds twice annual Tag Sale Fundraisers in the Spring and Fall. The sales take place across the driveway from MAAP in the Friends Room of the Friends Meeting at Cambridge and includes clothing that is of good to new quality and is not of use to MAAP community members (pieces that need to be dry cleaned or are otherwise costly to maintain) as well as vintage and designer clothing, finer housewares, antiques, and jewelry. Some items that do not sell and are practical are put out in our free store for MAAP community members, while other items are saved for the next sale. Proceeds from the Tag Sale make up 10% of MAAP's annual budget.

If you have items you think would be useful for the sale, or any items from our current wishlist, they can be dropped off at MAAP during our donation hours on Tuesdays or Thursdays from 8am-5:30pm. We have extended our donations hours on Tuesdays for three weeks ahead of the Fall 2024 sale to 8AM-8PM (OCT 29, NOV 5, NOV 11). While we set aside items for upcoming sales year round, we stop accepting donations for the Tag Sale the Tuesday before the sale (NOV 11).

SAVE THE DATES!

MAAP is going paperless! Beginning Fall 2024 we will no longer be mailing postcards to everyone on our mailing list - it's not good for the environment and we feel funds would much better be spent on our people and programs rather than paper and postage. You can stay in the loop by signing up for our email based Mailing List or check this website. If you need to continue receiving postcards, please email Cassie at churd@maapma.org or call us at (617)876-5312 and leave your name and address on the voicemail, noting you'd like to continue to receive postcards.
