Donation Information
Where and When to Donate:
Donations can be dropped off at the donation door (located on the west side of the building) at Carmichael Outreach, 1510 12th Avenue. To ensure we’re available, please call our reception to book an appointment Monday through Friday, between 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. If you are unable to make an appointment, please call in advance to check if we are accepting donations that day. If no appointment is made or we are unable to accept donations, we may not be able to take your items.
How It Works:
Step 1: Generous community members bring in the items they wish to donate. Step 2: Our volunteers unload the donations and bring them to our sorting room downstairs. Step 3: Volunteers sort through the donations to ensure they are suitable. Donated items are then distributed to the various programs and services we offer through our four departments: Kitchen, Boutique, Housing, and Warming Center. If you have any questions or would like to book an appointment, please call us at 306-757-2235 Ext. 5.
Other Ways to Donate
Our lunch service and hamper program are essential in supporting individuals facing food insecurity. Each year, we provide over 50,000 meals and distribute 200 hampers to those in need. We accept donations of canned goods, pasta, and other non-perishable food items. Additionally, we are in need of to-go supplies such as 9-inch plates, 12 oz cups, and napkins to help ensure we can continue serving our community effectively.
We are in need of several items to support our community. Our Boutique serves over 1,000 guests each month and is always seeking donations of men's and women's clothing, as well as personal care products. We also accept general household goods, including cups, silverware, plates, blankets, and other essential items for the home.
In addition, we are urgently in need of personal care items such as shampoo, body wash, socks, and underwear. These products are crucial, as we distribute over 1,200 hygiene kits each month to individuals in need.
WHAT IS RECEIPTED?
Tax receipts can be issued for in-kind donations (items donated instead of money) if the items are new and you have a receipt or invoice that clearly states their value.
We provide tax receipts for donations of $20 or more, which are sent out at the end of the year.
Missing a Tax Receipt?
If you are missing a tax receipt from this year or any previous year, please contact our finance department by email at receipts@carmichaeloutreach.ca Be sure to include details such as the donation amount, the date of the donation, and your cheque number (if applicable). This will help us locate your donation quickly and get the receipt to you as soon as possible.
Please note: We do not provide tax receipts for donations of used items.
