The Salvation Army’s Fall Fabric Fair Returns
PITTSBURGH (August 29, 2025) – Get ready to fall in love with your next creative project at The Salvation Army’s Fall Fabric Fair on Saturday, October 4, 2025! This popular one-day sale, made possible thanks to members of The Salvation Army Greater Pittsburgh Women’s Auxiliary, will begin at 8:30 a.m. at The Salvation Army Pittsburgh Temple Worship and Service Center, located at 1060 McNeilly Road. The event will conclude at 1:30 p.m.
For more than three decades, this fundraiser has offered bargains on a treasure trove of crafting materials and supplies. Shop early for the best selection of rare fabrics, unique patterns and a variety of materials and equipment for crocheting, knitting, quilting and “sew” much more. After exploring the inventory indoors, shoppers can enjoy a $10 bag sale outside, which will be stocked with a variety of materials. Since its inception, the fabric fairs have raised more than $900,000, with all proceeds providing critical assistance to individuals and families throughout Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
“I am honored to be part of this decades-long ministry that has become an incredible tradition in Pittsburgh,” said Major Marika Payton, General Secretary/Allegheny County Coordinator for The Salvation Army. “The dedicated members of The Salvation Army Greater Pittsburgh Women’s Auxiliary are the heart of these fundraisers. They work tirelessly all year sorting, measuring and preparing donations to ensure these sales are the best possible experience for everyone who comes through our doors.”
Admission and parking are free, with complimentary shuttles running from parking lots at Keystone Oaks School located off McNeilly Road. Snacks and lunch items will also be available for purchase. Please note, carts and strollers are prohibited. Reusable shopping bags are highly encouraged.
This powerful fundraiser is a community-driven event made possible thanks to the donations of all the items for sale. There is always a need for donated items, as well as additional volunteers to measure and sort fabric in preparation for the fair. Donations are currently being accepted at The Salvation Army warehouse in Green Tree from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesdays (February through October) at the rear of 820 Parish Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15220. Please note, fabric donations will NOT be accepted during the actual Fabric Fair event.
