Calgary Association of Self Help receives donations of household items from the general public. Participants volunteer their time and work with staff to sort, clean and repair or refinish donated items which are then priced and displayed for sale at our Garage Sales.
Garage Sales are held bi-weekly for the Association’s clientele as well as, semi-annual sales for the general public. Sales are run by the participants with staff support. These sales offer a rewarding experience for participants and help generate funds that are used to enhance programs at Calgary Association of Self Help.
