DONATIONS TO THE GIFT SHOP

Do you have an old china set taking up space in the attic? Clean out your storage while supporting local heritage! We are always looking to grow our stock of vintage kitchen wares and linens to sell in our gift shop. Proceeds from these sales go directly to the Lougheed House Conservation Society and mean that we can offer more affordable programs, engaging exhibits, and community fun! We’re looking for:

  • China place settings, teapots, and tea sets

  • Crystal glasses, dishes, and vases

  • Milk glass vases, pitchers, etc.

  • Vintage Pyrex dishes and sets

  • Hand-embroidered tablecloths and small linens

What aren’t we looking for? Silver items (except for novelty spoons), clothing, decorative plates, figurines, and anything that is scratched or chipped. Keep in mind that a donation to the gift shop is not a donation to the collection. Ready to donate? Contact our guest services team below to set up a drop-off time today!

This year, the Lougheed House Conservation Society aims to match last year’s fundraising success, with a goal of surpassing $95,000 to support our community. It will cost approximately 16% to 20% of the total to raise this, well below the Canada Revenue Agency’s acceptable level of 35%. The funds from this campaign will support the greatest needs.
