Since 2002, the SPCA has sponsored DC's largest yard sale, which covers Shepherd Park, Colonial Village, and North Portal Estates. It is a relatively informal event that offers residents an opportunity to sell various household goods from their homesites or at a local community area. To make sure it's a success, we set the date, advertise it, put up "Yard Sale" yard signs, register vendors, and produce an online vendor map. 

Typically, the SPCA Annual Community Yard Sale occurs in late spring to early summer and is hosted solely by the SPCA. 

The SPCA has created Tips for Success that provide useful details in preparing for the yard sale.

Sellers. Join your neighbors in selling your old and new things. You can sell in front of your home or at Shepherd Elementary School, at the corner of 14th Street and Kalmia Road NW.  To be a seller:

• You must live within SPCA's boundaries to participate.
• Members participate for free
