What We Do
Many of our neighbours are fleeing unimaginable violence. In the process, they've lost almost everything. The future seems bleak.
With your help, they can begin to pick up the pieces to start again. One important way is to help them furnish their new home.
Through this website, we connect generous donors with local charities to ensure gently-used household items can find a new home.
Do you want to donate something?
We hope to connect gently used household items with individuals and families that might need them.
We value dignity as well as generosity. Therefore, please don't offer dirty, broken, stained or torn items.
Does your charity need something?
As a registered charity, your work is the cornerstone of helping others.
Please tell us a little about the work you do. Be sure to include your Canadian Charity registration number and contact information.
