With the garage sale season coming to an end, Bolingbrook's Humane Haven Animal Shelter is holding its annual year-end blowout Saturday. The sale, which is held in the Kohl's parking lot, runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with all of the proceeds going to help the hundreds of unowned animals in the shelter. Perhaps more unique, all of the items sold will be donated by local residents. "100 percent of the proceeds go for the care of dogs and cats in the shelter," said Walt Marcis, a volunteer for the shelter. "It pays for hospital bills, food, cat litter, and medicine for the animals." The sale is a sort of two-way street for garage sale enthusiasts.

The 19th annual Community Service Council Garage Sale is this Friday and Saturday.
If the idea of a garage sale in the middle of January in northern Illinois sounds absurd, think again—and think big. On Friday and Saturday, the Community Service Council will hold it's 19th annual “Garage” sale to raise money for Operation Christmas in the Performing Arts Center at Bolingbrook's Village Hall. The sale will be open both days from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. But, you might say, "Christmas is over, and the Performing Arts Center is not a garage." And technically, you'd be correct. But the folks at CSC are already gearing up for next year. “We receive donated items and we sell them to support the Operation Christmas fund,” said CSC executive director Robert Kalnicky. “It's usually household items; very typical of a garage sale.” Stacked…
