Clothing

Given the challenging conditions faced by individuals on the streets, clothing is often subject to significant wear and tear, leading to high demand for replacement items. All types of clothing are valuable and appreciated, as there are no restrictions on what we can accept. For more details on how you can contribute, please contact us.

Anything Else

We are fortunate to be connected with a broad network of individuals and organizations across Vancouver. Our experience shows that most donated items can find value and utility in people's daily lives. Therefore, we are able to accept donations in various quantities. If you’re uncertain about whether your items are suitable for donation, please reach out to us for guidance.
