Donation

Acorn Family Place is grateful for the support of our community and will happily accept donations – both financial donations and donated items.

Financial donations can be made on our website homepage (click “Donate Now” at the top) or by cash, cheque, or e-transfer. We can issue charitable tax receipts for donations – make sure to include your full name and address if you want a receipt.

We also happily accept your new or gently used items that we can pass along to the families at our center.

The following is a list of the items that we frequently need

Baby/Toddler Supplies:
  • Diapers (especially sizes 4, 5 & 6)
  • Formula
  • Wipes
  • Strollers
  • High Chairs
  • Cribs
  • Nursing Pads/Nipple cream
  • Breast Pump/ Breastfeeding Supplies
  • Bottle Liners
Hygiene & Menstrual Products (new):
  • Menstrual products
  • Toothbrush, toothpaste
  • Soap, shower gel
  • Lotion
  • Shampoo, conditioner
  • Deodorant
  • Shaving Supplies
  • Lip balm
  • Brush/Comb

Clothing and footwear (new or gently used and clean: all sizes and genders)


Unfortunately, there are some donated items that we don’t have the capacity to accept, such as furniture and used toiletries. For donations that we accept but do not get used (e.g. out-of-season clothing), we may pass it along to another partner non-profit organization.


Here are some suggestions of where to donate the things that Acorn Family Place can’t accept:

Up Shoppe

Arts Junktion

Thrive Thrift Shop

Flavie-Laurent Centre

For suggestions of other organizations that accept donations, give us a call at 204-560-3141.

Thank you for your support of families in our community!

Today is National Food Service Workers Day, and we’re taking a moment to celebrate the incredible team behind our Food Connections program! Every day, they work with heart and dedication to ensure our community is nourished through hot coffee, nutritious snacks, and emergency food support. This team does it all: they prepare 150 homemade meals each week for food outreach (through our partnership with the North End Women’s Centre), host weekly caregiver breakfasts, biweekly cooking classes, all while making us smile whenever we visit the kitchen!Thank you to the folks behind the scenes who keep us nourished and bring us together. 👏💛 ...
