Be a part of the biggest, best, and certainly most enjoyable rummage sale in Northern California.
Our volunteers keep the Sale going,
60+ years strong.
Key to the success of the White Elephant Sale is a corps of nearly 1,000 volunteers. These tireless individuals are the heroes of the Sale, spending untold hours throughout the year sorting, pricing, and displaying the countless items that we are so fortunate to receive, to be sold in nearly twenty different departments. We are incredibly grateful to all our volunteers and thank them for their time, dedication, and effort.​​
​
Our mission is to raise funds for the benefit of the Oakland Museum of California.
