The community consignment process at Blockhouse Trading Company was inspired and aided by Cheryl Lamerson who set up Lunenburg Community Consignment.

 

The store does not run at a profit, but aims to be self-sustaining and sustainable through the exchange of items in the community. There is no end to people wanting and needing to pass items on, or for people to need something affordable or for their collection.

 

The store is full of vintage and other interesting items that were collected over the years by people in the community and which come to us through consignment or donations.

 

Stock rotates constantly due to the nature of consignment. Items unsold go on sale and if still with us after the discounted period, are given to charity or returned to the consignor.

​

Please contact us if you are interested in making donations to the store or selling though consignment.

​

20% of consignment (and 70% of donated) sales are given to our three chosen charities for 2024. They are:

​

Canadian Kidney Foundation - Atlantic Chapter.  A collaborative, inventive and focused leader in the development of programs, services, research opportunities and awareness campaigns that have had a positive impact on the millions of Canadians living with, or at risk of developing kidney disease. www.kidney.ca
