Your donations convey that you care!
We are following a sustainability model of donations, wherein we will be accepting in-kind donations on a limited basis depending on our programs, shelter requirements, campaigns and storage availability
If you would like to make an in-kind contribution, at this moment, we find ourselves in need of the following items:
Non-Perishable Foods
Rice, Pasta, Pasta sauce, Crackers, Oil, Salt, Pepper, Spices, Tuna, Chicken, Peanut Butter, Jam, Canned vegetables, Canned lentils, Canned legumes, Noodles, Soups, Flavored soup noodles
Clothes, Toys, Household items
On a limited basis, we accept donations of gently used women’s and children’s clothing, toys and baby items, however due to a lack of storage space at our locations we cannot keep donations for an extended period of time. Every effort is made to match residents and clients in need of specific donations. If no match can be found we have a volunteer run program that sorts and takes items to consignment shops. Any proceeds made from the sale of the items are put directly back into our programming.
We are onsite Monday to Wednesday and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to accept donations at our outreach centre. If you would like to make a donation, please reach out to Elizabeth at 416-252-7949 ext.240 or at ebrett@womens-habitat.ca
Gift cards
The donation of gift cards are greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, women who have survived violence and abuse often experience a detrimental impact to their self-confidence and esteem. A large part of regaining control and autonomy of one’s life is to have the freedom to make your own decisions. Giving a woman in need a gift card is helping her to re-claim her independence by allowing her the choice of how and when to meet her or her family’s needs. The donation of a gift card breaks barriers and empowers women to live life with dignity and self-worth. With regards to donors, a gift card donation also qualifies for a tax receipt.
The cards residents and clients find most helpful are No Frills, Walmart and Shopper’s Drug Mart.
Silent Auction Items
We accept new / unused items ranging for bath, beauty, cooking and household, sports, kids and more
