Get involved
Host a drive.
Collections work when what arrives is what families actually need. Talk to us before you start and we will tell you what that is right now.
Before you collect
Please ask us what is needed before you gather anything.
This is not a formality. Storage here is limited, needs change month to month, and a donation we cannot use costs us staff time to sort, store, and pass on. A drive that starts with one phone call is worth several times one that does not.
We will tell you plainly what we need, what we have too much of, and what we cannot accept.
Typically useful
What families use most.
Needs shift. Confirm with us before collecting, but these are the categories that are rarely wrong.
Diapers and wipes
Sizes 3 through 6 move fastest. Newborn sizes are donated far more often than they are used.
New bedding and towels
Twin and crib sheets, blankets, bath towels. New only, for health and dignity reasons.
Cleaning and paper goods
Detergent, dish soap, all-purpose cleaner, toilet paper, paper towels. Always needed, rarely donated.
Personal care
Shampoo, body wash, toothpaste, deodorant, menstrual products. Full-size where possible.
Gift cards
Grocery, pharmacy, gas, and general retail. These let a family buy what they actually need.
New small appliances
For families moving into their own place: microwaves, slow cookers, vacuums. Ask first.
Please do not send
What we cannot
accept.
Used bedding or underwear
Health requirement. New only.
Recalled or damaged items
Car seats and cribs in particular. We cannot verify history, so we cannot pass them on.
Opened medication or supplements
Including vitamins and over-the-counter items.
Large furniture
No storage. We can sometimes connect you to a partner who takes it.
Expired food
Please check dates before collecting.
Anything unsorted
Mixed, unlabelled boxes become our sorting problem. Label by category.
Get started
Tell us what you have in mind.
Workplaces, congregations, schools, and neighbourhood groups all run drives for us. We will confirm current needs, agree a drop-off window, and send you something to share with your group.
