The May Court Club of Oakville is Canada’s finest service club and has been active in Oakville for fifty-five years. All members are volunteers and all monies raised from their various fundraisers are disbursed to charities in the Oakville community! Last year May Court Oakville gave $288,350 to our community charities.

Discover the May Court Oakville’s “The Nearly New Shop” located at 200 Kerr Street, just north of Rebecca. One of the main fundraisers for May Court Oakville, The Nearly New Shop is an exciting consignment shop and a great place to buy unique, one-of-a-kind clothing wear for ladies, men and children, varied and interesting bric-a-brac, household items and an amazing assortment of jewellery and accessories; all at unbeatable prices!!

“Resale beats Retail” is the motto of this thriving consignment shop. The Nearly New Shop is now accepting summer clothing. If you have clothing, or anything, that you no longer use, bring it to the store. They will set a price agreeable to both of you and it will be displayed for sale. When the pieces sell, you get 50% of the sale. If after thirty days it is not sold, you can either take it back or donate the items. The items are then reduced by 50%. While you are there, shop, browse and explore. The money is all donated – given back to Oakville charities!
