Donating Furniture

Donate apartment sized furniture and help create New Start for a women in your community.

These are great examples of furniture items that are perfect for our New Start Program

We are grateful for your furniture donations and to make things easier, you can now donate in two ways:

  • If you would like to book a truck pick-up in the Central Victoria Area, click here to fill out our Furniture and Estate pick-up form.

  • Furniture drop offs are at our Home Shop, next to our Cook St location (1803 Cook St), with the Home Shop entrance being on the North Park side of the building. Drop offs are accepted during business hours only, and items left outside the store will not be accepted. Please call the shop ahead of time to make sure they have room for your items (250-590-5137) or send an email at homeshop@womeninneed.ca. As we have a limited space and must prioritize what is most useful to our programs and stores staff have the right to refuse donations. Note that donors are solely responsible for unloading all items into the store, so be sure to have someone with you to help lift for larger items.

  • To help cover rising maintenance and operational costs, a non-refundable $40 + GST truck usage fee has been introduced. This fee supports the upkeep of our vehicles so they remain safe, reliable, and ready for continued service.

    Please note that the truck usage fee does not guarantee donation acceptance. Items must meet our quality standards for use in our programs, or to sell in our shops in support of our programs. Final decisions are made by our transportation manager.
