VNSA
The Volunteer Nonprofit Service Association is an all volunteer group of 150 members who work year round preparing and producing the largest charity used book sale in the country. VNSA is proud to make used books available to the general public at the book sale at very reasonable prices while raising significant amounts of money for Arizona charities. Because of its all-volunteer membership, VNSA is able to donate approximately 80% of its sale proceeds each year to nonprofit agencies which directly serve the people of our community.

The first VNSA Used Book Sale was held in 1957 and raised about $900 for charity. Since then the Book Sale has grown in size and reputation, and people around the country look forward to shopping at the VNSA Used Book Sale. Since its inception in 1957, the VNSA Used Book Sale has raised over $5,000,000 for nonprofit human service agencies serving the people of our community!

Since 1987, VNSA has donated over $3,000,000 to these local agencies.

* Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation
* Literacy Volunteers of Maricopa County
* Toby House, Inc.

The growth of the VNSA Used Book Sale, and the increasing ability to support public service agencies, has been made possible by the good will and generosity of the many volunteer members, donors, supporters and loyal shoppers.
Please join us February 9th and 10th, 2008 for the 52nd Annual VNSA Used Book Sale. www.vnsabooksale.org
