Recently, two local queer youth groups, Rainbow Youth and Chemeketa Community College Queer Allies for Change, have come together with the help of the Service Employees International Union and begun planning for a large benefit yard sale for both their organizations. Rainbow Youth serves the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and allied youth of Marion and Polk counties. Rainbow Youth is a registered non-profit organization that is wholly supported by the generous gifts from those who understand and appreciate the importance of investing in youth.

Donations help to provide safe and supportive weekly group meetings facilitated by a trained adult, craft nights, leadership and wellness retreats, fun activities such as "gay skate,” an evening meal for the youth and so much more. Queer Allies for Change is a student founded and governed organization at Chemeketa Community College in Salem that caters to the LGBTQQA population of Chemeketa CC. They offer social gatherings for students as well as work to promote a safer, more inclusive campus climate to benefit the Chemeketa student body. SEIU members will also be distributing literature and raising awareness for marriage equality in the state of Oregon.
The sale will be hosted Saturday, October 15th in the SEIU parking lot in downtown Salem at 1730 Commercial St. SE from 8 AM to 4 PM. Volunteers will be at the SEIU building the evening of the 14th from 5-8 PM to receive donations. Additionally, on a limited basis, we will also arrange pick up for larger items such as furniture on Sunday, October 9th. We are seeking item donations including but not limited to; gently used quality clothing, winter wear, Halloween costumes, furniture, baby items, sports equipment, DVDs, CDs, books, working electronics, etc. We do reserve the right to decline donations.
