Don’t Miss Milwood’s Neighborhood Garage Sale on Saturday, April 18, 2026!

Mark your calendars to find some wonderful treasurers at the best prices from your neighbors! SIGN UP to HOST A SALE HERE.

Check back as the date approaches for the current map & list of participating homes.

The Milwood Neighborhood Association will be collecting Batteries, Oil, Latex Paint, Antifreeze, Styrofoam and Plastic Film (BOPA) on Saturday, April 25, 2026 from 8:30-9:30am at St. Stephen’s Baptist Church.

We must close at 10am or when we fill up to be able to get the materials to the City site and unloaded before they close at noon.

We will not be accepting other household hazardous wastes including: oil-based paint, paint thinner or stripper, cleaning chemicals, pool chemicals, pesticides. Those have to be delivered individually, though you are welcome to follow us down there and drop them off.

This event helps us to fundraise and gain members, so it is free to MNA members that are current on their $15 annual dues. Not a member? It’s easy to skip the line and join online or at the event.

We’re also looking for volunteers for our collection event. Sign up by emailing us at mnaboard@milwoodna.com. If you’re looking for a great opportunity to help serve your neighborhood, meet your neighbors, and protect the environment, come join us!

Event Created for Fun By Michael and Holly D.  See below details shared by them:

3rd Annual Milwood Turket Trot 2025
Thursday, Nov. 27 at 9am

We are going to host our 3rd annual “Milwood Turkey Trot.”
Partly because the Capital 10k is too long! Who wants to run that far on Thanksgiving?
And who wants to drive downtown on Thanksgiving?
And who wants to pay that much for a T-shirt that just dissolves in the wash?
The Milwood Turkey Trot will begin at the intersection of Everest and Cabana Ln.
We will show up at 8:45am. The “race” will start at 9am.
The entry fee is $0!
(You can bring some used or new socks as a donation and we will get them to the homeless.)
All are invited.
Known participants right now are me (Holly)!But I’m certain we will franchise this all over the nation! We will walk / run so don’t show up too excited!
The “race” will last as long as you want and there will be no photo finish.
