Groups

Bring your workplace or your class.

We host groups of up to 10 people on weekday mornings.

Groups sort donations and stock shelves before the doors open. Book at least three weeks ahead. High school students get their volunteer hours signed off at the end of the shift.

Sign up

Tell us when you are free.

Drivers and people who work with children need a police check. We pay for it. Volunteer time does not get a tax receipt, because the CRA does not allow receipts for services.
