When spring gets you excited about cleaning and downsizing, please think about donating to Abbotsford at the Glebe Centre. Abbotsford, the old stone house across from Lansdowne Park houses the community programs and services of the Glebe Centre. We are open to the public Monday through Friday from 8:30 am – 4:30 pm.
Throughout the year, our dedicated volunteers work on sorting, pricing, packing and selling your treasures. Abbotsford is eternally grateful to these volunteers and to the community, who generously drop off donations of jewels, art, flea market items and elegant treasures. We sell these items in to our ‘nearly new’ shop and at the Great Glebe Garage Sale in late May.
People often ask: “What do you accept”? We accept almost everything! The Great Glebe Garage Sale attracts buyers from all over the city…and beyond. Folks are looking for things, and we are looking to sell it to them.
You might want to donate musical instruments, varied visual art, craft supplies, sports equipment, books, garden pots and tools, whimsical items, kids toys, linens and kitchen items.
We sell beautiful China dish sets, ornaments, vases as well silver, brass and copper adornments. We gratefully accept all these types of donations. Whether you donate or want to buy, Abbotsford is the place to be.
Abbotsford needs to fundraise to keep our programming and services vibrant and affordable as we are not fully funded. When you donate items to us, you are helping to keep these programs and services thriving in your community.
Looking for Faux Fur
Our Teddy Bear group has been hand-stitching faux fur bears for well over 25 years as part of our fundraising efforts. These volunteers are always looking for donations of clean faux fur to create their fuzzy friendly friends. (no real fur thanks)
