Whether you're looking for bargains or looking to do some spring cleaning, a fundraiser next week is the place to be.

Re/Max Results Realty in Port Coquitlam is hosting the annual Re/Max Yard Sale for the Cure, a fundraiser for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, on Saturday, May 28.

From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the office, located at 105-1250 Dominion Ave. in Port Coquitlam, shoppers can look for garage sale bargains or munch barbecued hot dogs by donation.

Those who want to donate goods to be sold at the garage sale can drop them off at the same location during office hours, tomorrow (Saturday) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. or weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Also: Canadian Diabetes Association's Clothesline Program needs reusable clothing donations. The highlight of this year's campaign is a national Fill a Truck event on May 21 at the following Tri-City locations:

Royal Canadian Legion, 2513 Clarke St., Port Moody;

Canadian Tire, 1200 Seguin Dr., Coquitlam;

and the Canadian Diabetes business operations office at 302-1515 Broadway St., PoCo.

As well, CDA's "What's in your closet?" continues to the end of June, with an extra incentive to clean out closes the week of June 5 to 11 - Canadian Environment Week. Donors can schedule a free pick-up right from their door by visiting diabetes.ca/promise or calling 1-800-505-5525; when they schedule a pick-up by June 11 and mention the word "closet," they will be entered in a draw for an Apple iPad.
