Fabrick Collective accepts donations of clean used children's clothing in excellent condition. We are delighted to receive any season, any brand, and any size from newborn to youth 16, from smoke-free homes. 

Seven per cent of sales are in turn donated to the Elizabeth Fry Society of Ottawa to furnish and decorate their transitional housing for women leaving incarceration so that it feels more like home. To date we have raised over $28 000! 

Kids' footwear, outerwear, costumes, sleep sacks, high-quality baby gear in clean and excellent condition (such as diaper bags, carriers, and stroller covers). We accept children's books and toys with all parts included. 

Adult clothing

Underwear and socks (unless they are unworn or in original packaging)

Safety items (e.g. walkers, high chairs, helmets, car seats, baby seats)

Potties

Items that cannot be sold will be donated if possible. We partner with local community organizations and clothing swap events to try to find a home for every item. We are grateful to a local sponsor Aurora + Holly to have a textile recycling box for items that are in unusable condition (check out Terracycle if you'd like to purchase one for your home or neighbourhood group). However, this is expensive and we encourage you to properly dispose of unwearable clothes in the garbage if necessary, rather than passing them on to another organization. Ultimately, unwearable clothing donated to thrift stores will end up shipped overseas and become environmental pollution in another country.

You can bring your donation to the shop during opening hours at 1130 Bank St, Ottawa, Tuesday-Saturday 10-5. We also pick up donations in Ottawa/Gatineau on Sunday mornings. Schedule your contactless pick-up!
