You can drop off your non-perishable food items, toiletries, diapers/pull-ups, and pet food at any one of our drop-bins located throughout the community and at local grocery stores.

As part of our Seed Hospitality House Ministry, we offer through our Boutique an array of items that we distribute to the community for free. From clothing to kitchen supplies, we provide the necessities for people to be comfortable and get back on their feet.
We welcome all gentle used or brand new items to distribute through the Boutique during regular operational hours at 625 Queens Ave. We ask that these items are not placed in the drop-off bins located in the community, due to food safety concerns. We have a particular need for men’s clothing and shoes, but are happy to accept all gently used or new items. Check out the list below for items of greatest need!

Donating through BC Sharing is easy! Simply request to add $2 onto your grocery bill at participating grocery stores, and the store provides us with a gift card.
