History of the Community Sale
The Mercy Community Sale started in 1993. In 1995, Healthy Nampa Healthy Youth was established by a board of community leaders and the Nampa Schools Foundation to enhance the Community Sale and distribute the proceeds to youth organizations.
The mission of the Community Sale is to get everyone in the Nampa community and surrounding areas to take part in an all-day event with a restored car raffle, other raffle items, silent auction items, and more! The event has grown to include a Gala Dinner the Friday before the Community Sale, Wellness Fest & Kids Fair.
Throughout the years, the Community Sale has raised over $1,000,000. All of the proceeds benefit youth organizations in the community.
"It has been very exciting to watch it grow and see the impact it has had on Nampa kids and families."
