About us

Neighbours helping neighbours stay warm and well dressed.

From You To Them collects quality pre-loved clothing and shoes from people and businesses across the GTA and gives them, free, to families who need them through partner food banks. Families choose what they need, so every visit protects dignity and choice, and every item reused stays out of landfill.

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.

CRA Registration # 729166348RR0001

Clothing & shoe drives

We carry pre-loved items from your door to a neighbour who needs them — a new life for clothes, less in landfills.

Transparent distribution

Partner food banks across the GTA receive your gift, and families pick what they truly need.

Tax receipts with thanks

We value your items and send you a tax receipt. Monetary gifts keep the work running.

Monthly giving that reaches

$5/mo reaches ~12 people a year; $100/mo reaches ~240. Small, steady giving drives most of our impact.

How it works

From your closet to a family in four steps.

  1. 1. You donate

    Sort clean, gently used clothing, shoes, bags and accessories into bags. Book a pickup or bring them to a drop-off day.

  2. 2. We collect and sort

    Our volunteers pick up, sort and value every bag. Donors who ask for one receive an official tax receipt.

  3. 3. We bring it to food banks

    We set up racks and tables at partner food banks in the GTA, so families can find clothing where they already get support.

  4. 4. Families choose

    People browse and pick what fits them, like a shop instead of a handout. Nothing is sold, and nothing goes to waste.

Who we are

A volunteer board, on the ground at every event.

From You To Them was founded in 2023 and held its first distribution in June 2024. It is run by a volunteer board of directors with the help of community volunteers. Our directors work directly at pickups, sorting days and distributions.

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.
