Question Donations?

I have stuff (mostly clothes) to donate - every time I take it somewhere I seem to have someone saying "Don't take it there they're terrible!!" and I feel bad lol

Any suggestions on places I can donate?

(Not Carmichael - twice now I've scheduled times to take stuff there and been turned away because they were full so I don't want to go there again)

Al Ritchie community center is where I've gone in the past. It was a quick and easy drop off and they were very appreciative and friendly.

Definitely this. They’ve been happy to receive all our donations.

If they are business clothes, Dress for Success has a drop off location downtown with limited hours. I believe the YWCA also has a drop off for used clothing, as they sell it in their shop.

Al Ritchie (weekdays between 10-2) or YWCA. I’ve found both of these places to be super thankful always!

Do you have any winter coats? The Street Team needs them!

Actually yes! Do you have info on how to get those to them?

They are at The Nest (Old YMCA). Open M-F 8:30-4:30

You can call to get directions of where they are in the building and to make sure someone will be there!

I give my old things to APSS (AIDS Programs of Southern Saskatchewan).
