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

Clothing and textile recycling

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!
