Every diaper, every outfit, every gently used stroller — your physical donations go directly into the hands of women and families who need them most. To help us serve with dignity and care, we ask that all items are clean, organized, and ready to bless someone immediately.


We accept physical donations every Wednesday. 

Visit www.aidtowomen.ca or contact us to schedule a drop-off time.

We prioritize donations based on our current inventory, so please review the guide below before you drop off — it helps us get every item where it's needed fastest. https://www.aidtowomen.ca/donate for our Donation Guide
