Signal Hill Community Yard Sale

Stefanie Gillett, Communications Specialist for Signal Hill Petroleum, joined her fellow Signal Hill Community Foundation board members Saturday, May 2^nd at the annual Signal Hill Community Yard Sale. The event is sponsored by the Signal Hill Community Foundation and is in partnership with the Signal Hill Community Service Department. The community yard sale happens once a year on the first weekend in May and has been doing so since 2009. The event is an opportunity for community members, who normally wouldn’t have the ability to host a yard sale, to clean out their storage areas and make a little money.

The yard sale has always been a popular event and continuously sells out of spaces every year. The yard sale hosted 40 vendors; the majority being residents of Signal Hill, some residents of neighboring cities, a few commercial groups, and a couple non-profits. Although the number is not exact, it was estimated that the yard sale had over several hundred attendees. The proceeds of the yard sale go directly to the Signal Hill Community Foundation, which in return donates to community events for the City of Signal Hill.
