Paying it Forward

Thanks to the generosity of people in our community, we can help other organizations.

• Canadian Food For Children (CFFC) – We share some donations free of charge to CFFC if it is something a mother in a developing country in need can use to survive and support her children.
• Clothing Pickup 4 Cerebral Palsy (CP4CP) – We sell as much of the donations we receive as possible but sometimes items are poor quality or we get more than the racks and storage can hold. Instead of sending it to the landfill, we divert it by selling it to CP4CP who sells it to fund its programs. The money we make helps fund our operations.
