On its webpage for the event, the Lions Club offers some hints.

The 2013 Woodbury Lions Community Garage Sale is set for May 9-11.

The 36th annual event is co-sponsored by the city of Woodbury.

Net proceeds from the event are returned to the community to:

• support youth (including scholarships and youth development programs);
• the Woodbury Lions Veterans Memorial;
• the Christian Cupboard food shelf;
• individuals with specific sight and hearing needs; and
• other community service initiatives.

“Please join us in supporting this great community event, and make some money while you’re at it, by being part of the Woodbury Lions Community Garage Sale,” reads a previous notice on the event from the city.
