We accept donations from individuals and corporations of new and gently used items for clients in our programs. Your items help to minimize expenses and provide the basic needs and comforts of home. Proceeds from the sale of gently used items donated to the YW Thrift Boutique support the YW’s programs and services for women and girls.
In order for you to receive a tax receipt for your donation of new items on our wish list, a valid proof of purchase is required. If you would like a tax receipt, please contact us prior to making your purchases to make arrangements.
Please contact the YW by phone at 519-576-8856 ext. 0 or by email general@ywkw.ca if you would like more information about our donation process.
