ELMIRA, NY (WENY) -- The Salvation Army will be hosting a free yard sale every Monday in the month of August. The events will run from 10AM to 2PM at the Lake Street location in Elmira.                                                      

Summer items will be up for grabs such as clothing, shoes, and household supplies. The items will be free to those who attend the event. However, the Salvation Army says donations are appreciated from those who are able to give. People from all over the Southern Tier are invited to attend. 

“We're going to put out the tables every Monday for the next couple of weeks and invite people to take what they want.  We're here right in downtown Elmira and so if people want to come down from Horseheads or Ithaca, we're happy to have you,” said Major Stephen Carroll, director of the Salvation Army for Chemung and Schuyler Counties. 

The proceeds of the event will go towards funding the Salvation Army food bank. The food bank needs both monetary and food donations, and the Elmira location is open to accept them. 

The Salvation Army is located at 414 Lake St, Elmira, NY, 14901.  For more information about the Salvation Army, click here.
