jumble sales

Secondhand goods fundraisers

Jumble sales are British charity events where people donate used items—clothing, books, household goods—to be sold cheaply, with proceeds going to a church, school, or community organization.

The American equivalent is a rummage sale.

The church holds a jumble sale every spring.
