Royal LePage’s Garage Sale for Shelter in support of East Toronto’s Red Door Family Shelter set for May 3

By COLE HESSION

Royal LePage Estate Realty in the Beach will host the Garage Sale for Shelter event early next month.

The goal of the event is to raise funds to help women and children escape violence by providing them with a safe, stable place to live.

The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation has been organizing the sales for years, and locally the funds will be raised for Red Door Family Shelter in East Toronto.

This year’s Garage Sale for Shelter is on Saturday, May 3, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at a number of East Toronto locations.
Local residents can contribute donations for the sales. Items being accepted include gently used books, toys, small furniture and housewares.

Donations will be accepted prior to April 30. Arrangements can also be made for the pick-up of large-item donations.

Residents who would like to donate items are asked to call 416-690-5100 or go online to https://www.estaterealty.ca/pages/garage-sale-for-shelter for more information. The website also has a list of local garage sale locations.

Other options to support the Garage Sale for Shelter include making a donation or attending one of the sales. Monetary contributions over $20 are tax deductible.
