Monetary Donations

Your donations start the cycle. Items are sorted, prepared, and given a second life in the shops. Our Program Recipients shop alongside other community members for free, without being singled out. Everyone shops the same way.
Your donated linens, housewares, and furniture may be prepared for our New Start Program, and delivered for free to a community member rebuilding their safe new home.

This location is specifically set-up for the donation or clothing, accessories, linens, and housewares. We do not have storage space to accommodate larger items like furniture or mattresses. Please contact our Home Shop at 1803 Cook Street if you would like to donate furniture.

WIN is both. Our shops and donations help fund programs that support people during crises and in rebuilding.

Shopping and donating at WIN directly support WIN programs in the community. That’s how care stays available.
