“From you” on one side. “To them” on the other. We just carry it in between.

Who we are

Imagine a world where compassion meets sustainability.

We're a registered Canadian charity with a dual mission: to uplift people facing hardship and protect our environment. We bring dignity to children, women, people with disabilities, and those in poverty through recycled and new clothing, shoes, and necessities — keeping pre-loved items out of landfills.

Mission

Our mission is to work within local communities to bring dignity to the vulnerable by providing essential necessities such as clothing and shoes, while also helping the environment through recycling.

Ways to give

A gift of clothes is more than a material gift.

Every gift gets a tax receipt

Monetary gifts (one-time or monthly) and material gifts (clothing and shoes) each receive a tax receipt within 4 to 6 weeks. Gifts of money and gifts of items are receipted separately, and we issue a tax receipt for gifts valued at $20 or more.

A gift of clothes is more than a material gift — it comes from the heart. We take care of it, show you where it went, and send a tax receipt for your generosity. From You To Them, with care.

No need to price your items. Tell us what you're donating — we assess eligible items for tax-receipt purposes.

Donate Clothing & Shoes

Two ways to support

Give items, give money, or give your time. Every gift reaches someone who needs it.

For material gifts only

We can arrange a weekend pickup for packages of 20 items or more in the GTA, or help arrange a drop-off. We welcome voluntary financial contributions of $20 or more to help cover our operating costs, and a separate official donation receipt will be issued for monetary gifts. Tell us what you're giving — no need to price your items. We assess eligible donations and issue the tax receipt.
