Please note that the REAL Deal Store will be closed over the Christmas holidays to give staff and volunteers a break.  Our last shopping day for the year will be Saturday, December 20.  We will be back open for business Friday, January 2, 2026.

Beginning Wednesday, December 3 and for the three weeks leading up to Saturday, December 20,  all Christmas items will be 50% off.  We really need to get all this stuff into other people’s hands before Christmas!  We find that by the time the store reopens in the New Year people aren’t so keen on Christmas stuff.  But we’ll see where we are on the 20th.

Just a reminder not to leave any donations at the store while we are closed.  And that means anywhere – the gate, the doors, the picnic tables, by the bins and so on.  Just don’t!  We will be pleased to see your donations when we reopen, as the winter months tend to be a little slow for donations.

If you need to reach us over the break, leave a message at (613) 283-7999 or send an email to [email protected].
