Donate Goods

Donations of used women's and children's clothing, toys and small household items are gratefully received by YWCA. Items are first offered to our clients, and the excess is placed in our "Anything Goes" discount store or donated to other charities.

We can not pick up donations, but they can be dropped off on the main floor of our 1940 McIntyre Street location.

Used furniture can not be stored at the YWCA. If you would like to donate furniture for our shelter families, please call 525-2141, ask to speak to shelter staff, and they will make current shelter residents aware of your available items. Arrangement for pick-up can then be made directly between you and the recipient.

If your community group is collecting new or used goods for our shelter clients or residents, the following is a list of items that are much in demand:

• Toiletries, especially toothpaste and deodorant
• Towels
• Bedding
• Canned goods and other non-perishable food items
• Floor mats (washable)
• Shower curtains
• Fans
• Alarm clocks
• Cleaning supplies
• Tea towels and dishcloths
• Kitchen Utensils
• Cutlery
• Pots and pans
• Cake pans and cookie sheets
• New underwear and socks (women's and children's)
• Toques and mittens
• Space heaters
