After a two-year hiatus, the renowned Saint’s Place Super Sale is coming back with the safety of shoppers at the forefront due to the Covid-19 pandemic. 

“We will be following the current CDC guidelines when the sale takes place,” said Isabel Miller, executive director of Saint’s Place. “We look forward to welcoming back our shoppers who do so much to help us achieve our mission of ‘welcoming the stranger.’ ”

A good portion of the sale will take place outdoors on the St. Louis Church campus, 64 S.  Main Street in Pittsford, in addition to shopping allowed in Reddington Hall. As in years past, shoppers will have access to great deals on purses, jewelry, dishes, glassware, small kitchen appliances, furniture, linens, electronics, books, toys, sporting goods and collectible items. 

“The Saint’s Place Annual Sale is our biggest fundraiser,” Miller noted. “It keeps our doors open to serve incoming refugees, settled refugees and the poor and needy of Rochester. Despite the pandemic, we assisted 1,200 individuals with clothing for winter and spring, new beds and mattresses, and household goods. We are expecting a major increase in refugees in the late summer and fall and then a significant surge in 2022.”
   

“This year our goal is to raise $100,000 because we realize the needs of the refugees and the poor in Rochester is overwhelming,” said Michele Quinn, associate director of Saint’s Place, citing the fact that more than 50 percent of children in Rochester live in poverty.
