Highlands is one of the largest centres on the North Shore focused on recycling and reusing household goods We are in the process of transitioning away from our annual Flea Market sale to opening a permanent Thrift store in 2024 in the Lower Floor of the church.
While this is in progress, we will be offering occasional pop-up Thrift Sales throughout the year. As always, you will find amazing bargains and good quality clothing for the whole family at our sales. Sale announcements will appear on Highlands home page and in our Friday Highlights email.
In 2024, our pop-up sales will be on March 23, June 1 and August 31, 2024.
We will also have a pop-up sale of the Advent Festival on November 29 (6-9pm) and 30th (10am-2pm). The Thrift and Gift Sale will feature Christmas decor and holiday gift giving.
Have some things you’d like to donate?
Donations of items that are clean, undamaged, and in working order are accepted on Saturday mornings at Highlands Church south parking lot from 10 am to noon.

Many hands make light work. The Thrift Sales are some of Highlands’ largest events and we need lots of hands and giving hearts to make them a success. To assist with set-up, clean-up or to work in one of the many departments, keep an eye on our Weekly Highlights for requests for volunteers.
