A hundred percent of the money raised at the sale will go to those living in extreme poverty around the world and in the Roanoke Valley.

Organizers say people are so generous in giving the items that are for sale.

"People just give stuff that's amazing, how people will give us items that I think ahhh you're giving us that, you know, said Roy Carter, Proceeds for Poverty Director. "One lady gave us $5,000 worth of stuff last year."

Once the sale is over on Saturday volunteers will start collecting donations for 2016's sale.
