DONATIONS

Many of our guests leave their homes unexpectedly and do not have time to collect the things they and their children will need. WIN House supplies necessary personal items and therefore we need a constant supply. People commonly ask what we need, so here are a few ideas! (Demand is greatest for household items to help women start new homes.)

We are continually grateful for all donations received. Material donations may be brought to the WIN House Business Office. Please call 780-471-6709 in advance to arrange drop-off.

For a full list of donation agencies please visit the city of Edmonton website at www.edmonton.ca/reuse
