Mission of Deeds is a non-profit organization providing new beds and gently used furniture, and household items to individuals and families in need in Middlesex and Essex counties. We have been in operation for more than 30 years in downtown Reading and furnished almost 17,000 homes. We assist people in need transitioning out of homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, fire and flood victims, and anyone in need as vetted by a professional in an official capacity. We do not receive government funding.
We often receive donated items that are not suitable for clients but have value. As a fundraiser to buy new beds and fund the general operations of the organization, we host a yard sale. Due to COVID, we have not hosted a yard sale since 2019. The community, staff, and volunteers were eager to bring it back! This is not your typical yard sale. All items are high quality and available at bargain prices. Hundreds of people attend the yard sale and we have a line that forms before we open! It is one of the more well-known events in Reading. We look forward to hosting on Saturday, April 27.
Rain date of April 28.
There will be an extremely limited early admission option. Stay tuned for those details. Yard Sale opens at 9:15 AM to the public and will end at 11:45 AM. There will be baked goods for sale and raffles to enter. Sponsorships are available.
Mission of Deeds is located at 6 Chapin Avenue. No parking available on-site.

Reading, MA – Fans of the former Hot Spot in Reading may remember the holiday displays of beautiful Pysanky handcrafted by the talented artist Dianne Foulds.
Pysanky is an art form that dates back to antiquity. The Ukrainian Pysanky (which means to write) is made with a stylus, using the ancient batik method, which has been handed down from mother to daughter for generations.
Dianne learned the craft from her sister-in-law, who learned from her mother. She has honed her skills and artistry for over fifty years. The results are amazing works of art that can be collected or given as gifts, especially at Easter time.
Dianne has used portions from her egg sales to benefit Ukrainians in crisis. She has donated to World Central Kitchen to help feed Ukrainian refugees. Earlier this month, she donated a class to the Refugee Community Alliance Ukrainian Support Project Trivia Night held at Reading’s St. Agnes Church.
The sale will take place at 2 Bancroft St. in Lynnfield from 1 to 4 on Saturday, March 30th.
