The sale goes from 8am to 1pm on Saturday, March 19, at 7 Forest Drive, Chisholm.
There will be a sausage sizzle at the event, and the chosen small charities will be listed on the wall.
Linda Harwood, from the Umbrella Foundation Australia, said their organisation usually donates funds to Nepal, but this year they can see there is a huge need locally in New South Wales.
"We're looking at smaller charities and are hoping to raise enough where we can donate to different organisations," Ms Harwood said.
In the news:
"Whilst our programs are primarily based in Nepal, we feel this year it's important to send the proceeds to local flood affected communities."
There will be a huge range of items for sale, including household items, collectors pieces, childrens toys, sports items and much more.
