The Central Alberta Humane Society’s Ultimate Garage Sale has finally arrived.

Beginning tonight with the VIP shopping night, the non-profit organization will open the garage sale to the public on Friday, July 24 at St. Joseph High School.

“Our Ultimate Garage Sale is truly powered by the generosity of our community,” said Jennifer Erickson, Fund Development Coordinator at Central Alberta Humane Society. “Every donated item represents someone choosing to make a difference. Together, those donations become food, medical care, shelter, and hope for hundreds of animals each year. Whether you are donating, shopping, or sharing our event, you are helping create a stronger, more compassionate community.”

All the money raised through the garage sale goes towards emergency boarding for pets in crisis, the pet food bank, low-cost spay and neuter assistance, humane education, lost and found services, and compassionate care for animals awaiting their forever homes.

There will be a VIP shopping night on Thursday, July 23, from 5 to 8 p.m. to give people an opportunity to buy items before it opens to the public. Tickets for the VIP event are $25 online or $35 at the door.
