Community Mediation Services of Anderson County, or CMS, is having its annual Giant Garage Sale on Friday and Saturday.
The garage sale is scheduled from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday and from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the yellow Eagle building at 1650 Oak Ridge Turnpike.
For more than 28 years, CMS has helped hundreds of juveniles and families come up with their own solutions to difficult conflicts and concerns, using well-trained, community volunteer mediators, a press release said. This fall, in addition to its three other mediation programs, CMS will be working with the Anderson County Schools on school attendance (truancy) issues.
The three other programs offered by CMS are Victim Offender Reconciliation Program (VORP); Access/Visitation Program (A/V), which allows unmarried parents or other involved relatives to work out a suitable visitation agreement; and Teen/Parent Mediation (TPM).
“Bring your interest in bargain hunting to our big garage sale, which supports CMS and its goal of helping families through peaceful resolution,” the press release said.
