Gold For Good Campaign
Bogart’s Jewellers has teamed up with Home Again Furniture Bank for the Gold for Good campaign to turn unwanted scrap gold into fresh starts for local families. Most of us have forgotten pieces tucked away in a jewellery box, broken chains, single earrings, bent rings, or outdated items that simply no longer get worn. By dropping your scrap gold aff at any Bogart's Jewellers location on or before November 13 or participating in a workplace collection, 100% of the precious metal value is donated directly to Home Again to help furnish homes and provide dignity to neighbours in need across our community. As our thank-you for giving back, every donation earns a Golden Ticket entry into the grand prize draw on November 13 for a Bogart’s gift card, a prize that increases with every piece collected.  
What is Home Again Furniture Bank?
Home Again Furniture Bank is a registered charitable organization dedicated to ending furniture poverty throughout the Northeast Avalon region. The organization collects gently used home furnishings, such as beds, dressers, dining sets, and couches, from donors and businesses across the community. Home Again provides these items completely free of charge to individuals and families who are referred directly by local social service agencies, shelters, and outreach programs.
Many of the neighbours they assist are leaving emergency shelters, overcoming abusive situations, or facing acute financial hardship. By ensuring these homes are outfitted with essential everyday items, Home Again restores basic dignity, security, and stability to families who would otherwise be forced to live and sleep on bare floors. In addition to transforming empty spaces into safe, supportive living environments, their operations also divert hundreds of tonnes of reusable furniture away from local landfills each year.

How It Works:
Participating in the Gold for Good campaign is simple, transparent, and creates an immediate impact. Start by gathering any unwanted, broken, or outdated jewellery tucked away in your drawers, from mismatched earrings and tangled chains to bent rings made of gold or sterling silver. Bring your items to any Bogart’s Jewellers location before November 13. Our team will test and assess the precious metal value of your pieces, with 100% of the proceeds donated directly to Home Again Furniture Bank to furnish homes for local families. Participant workplaces will hold an employee collection on November 13. In return for your generosity, every participant receives a Golden Ticket sweepstakes entry for a chance to win a Bogart’s gift card that increases with every piece collected 
Three Simple Steps to Make a Difference

Step 1: Gather Your Scrap Gold & Silver

Check your jewellery box for broken chains, single earrings, bent rings, old clasps, or pieces you no longer wear. We accept both Gold & Silver Jewellery. Any karat, colour, or condition is accepted.

Step 2: Drop It Off

Employees of participating workplaces are asked to bring gold in on November 13. See your workplace for details. A Government ID is required to donate or sell your jewellery. You can also bring your scrap gold to any Bogart’s Jewellers location. Make sure to let our staff know that you want your gold donated to receive a Golden Ticket. 

Step 3: Claim Your Golden Ticket

Every donation receives a Golden Ticket entry for our grand prize Bogart’s gift card draw worth exactly 10% of the total scrap gold value raised across the entire campaign (e.g., if $10,000 is raised, the gift card is $1,000; if $50,000 is raised, the gift card is $5,000). Certain conditions apply. No purchase necessary. Every participant must answer a skill-testing question. No tax receipts will be issued.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Gold for Good campaign?

Gold for Good is a community partnership between Bogart’s Jewellers and Home Again Furniture Bank. We collect unwanted scrap gold and sterling silver jewellery, assess its precious metal value, and donate 100% of the proceeds to Home Again to help furnish homes for local families in need.

What types of jewellery and metals are accepted?

We accept gold of any karat (10k, 14k, 18k, 24k), gold-plated items, .925 sterling silver, and pure silver. This includes broken or tangled chains, single or mismatched earrings, bent rings, old pendants, and outdated pieces.

Does my jewellery need to be in good condition?

No. Pieces are evaluated based on their metal content and weight, not their aesthetic condition. Broken, damaged, or tangled items are just as valuable for this drive as wearable jewellery.
