The Donation Centre opened it's doors in November 1991 to receive and distribute community donations of clothing and household items such as bed linens, pots and pans, dishes, etc. in a fair and equitable manner to the women and children who seek our service.

       Donations are sorted first for our operational and residential needs at the shelter. The remainder of that donation is set up store fashion for the women and children who have utilized our programs.

       Any part of the donation that we are unable to utilize is donated to another community agency.

       We are always in need of:

• Linens, including sheets, blankets, bedspreads & pillows
   
• Towels, all sizes
   
• Kitchen items such as toasters, kettles, irons, clocks, radios, small microwaves, electric frying pans, pots & pans, sets of dishes, sets of glasses/mugs, cutlery, dish cloths & tea towels
   
• Lamps (floor & table), small end tables, nightstands & alarm clocks
   
• Gently used seasonal clothing for children and adults

       Donors with larger furniture items such as beds, dressers, kitchen tables, sofas, etc. may call the shelter to place these items on a donation list for women who are leaving the shelter.

       Unfortunately, due to health and safety restrictions, we are unable to accept donations of used children's car seats, cribs, second hand stuffed animals, broken toys and soiled clothing..

       Donations of new items, (i.e. toys) will be utilized at the shelter for our special occasion gift giving needs for women and children, such as birthdays or Christmas.

       The Volunteers at the Donation Centre look forward to receiving your donation at:
