Access Self Storage and Truck Rental of Dallas partnered with the Chapel Choir and Orchestra of First Baptist Church in Dallas to host the group's annual garage-sale fundraiser. This year, the sale raised more than $20,000 to offset travel costs for the groups summer tour to Baltimore.
High school students from the church comprise the choir and orchestra, donating Saturdays throughout the year to collect and sort thousands of unwanted items at Access Self Storage's East Dallas location. The students then operate a weekend-long garage sale that attracts thousands of area residents.
