Fort Worth, Texas – Center for Transforming Lives’ popular thrift-store – The Resale Shop – will host its first-ever community garage sale on Saturday, March 28, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at its Riverside Campus, 3001 S Riverside Drive, Fort Worth, TX 76119. Residents are invited to shop for affordable secondhand items such as clothing for men, women and children as well as household items and small furniture.
