The White Elephant Sale – Northern California’s Biggest and Best Rummage Sale

Our annual White Elephant Sale returns to the San Francisco Bay Area for the 55th time on March 1 and 2, 2014, with the Preview Sale January 26. Organized and presented by the Oakland Museum Women’s Board, Sale proceeds benefit the Oakland Museum of California.

Donations by the public make the White Elephant Sale possible, and year round our van travels to Bay Area neighborhoods and communities to accept donations of gently used good quality items. To schedule a free van pick up call 510-839-5919.

Starting in September 2013, the public will again be able to drop off donations at our warehouse site. Click here for a listing of all drop-off dates and times. For a list of items we regrettably cannot accept please click here.

Our last White Elephant Sale was a wonderful success, raising for the second consecutive year $1.8 million. In grateful appreciation, we wish to acknowledge the contributions of all our volunteers, donors and shoppers and thank them for their more than 50 years of loyalty and support.

With proceeds from the White Elephant Sale benefiting the Oakland Museum of California (OMCA), the Women’s Board over the years has contributed more than $18 million to support OMCA acquisitions, exhibitions, educational programs, capital improvements and more. The Sale is the Board’s only fund raising activity.
