our purpose
Fabrick Collective turns outgrown kids' clothes into cash - the most flexible resource for charities. Seven per cent of sales go directly to the Elizabeth Fry Society of Ottawa to fund improvements to their transitional housing. To date, we have raised over $27 000!
Learn more about the impact of their work from Katie, an Elizabeth Fry Ottawa client, who shares her story in this video:

HELP FAMILIES TO SAVE MONEY ON KIDS' CLOTHES
Shopping secondhand is far less expensive than buying new - and browsing online saves you time and money! With clear photos and lots of filters, we make buying second hand kids clothes online a breeze.
Fabrick Collective also provides gift cards and free clothing to mothers in need of a hand up. We have served clients of E Fry Ottawa, Mothercraft's Birth and Parent Companion Program, the Afghan Canadian Support Network, and the Civic Hospital NICU.Â
We also host seasonal clothing swaps with local Ottawa organizations. Join our email list to be notified for these events!
SUPPORT THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Thrifting is great for the environment and reduces our reliance on unethical manufacturing practices of fast fashion brands that affect racialized workers, mostly women, in the Global South.
We make buying secondhand straightforward and accessible by offering an online option for those who find it difficult to get to thrift stores in person.
Donating is easy! We offer free pick-up in Ottawa/Gatineau every Sunday. Find out more about donating your kids' clothes, shoes, toys and books here.Â
We are grateful to our community of supporters!
