Product Drives
Sometimes, you just want to give a tangible item.
A Product Collection Drive is a great way to rally your friends, family, or coworkers around a cause you all care about. By participating in a product drive, you will make a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable children, families, and individuals in our community.
There are opportunities to run product drives for a particular initiative, or donate individual items that will make an immediate and powerful difference to our vulnerable neighbours.
Products collected are distributed through our InKind Exchange to front-line agencies and programs, getting the goods to where they are needed most.
Host a product drive
A product drive is an excellent way to support United Way and the local agencies we work with, while also connecting with coworkers, customers, and your community. There are a variety of collection drives that will help United Way meet the needs of our program initiatives.
Tools for School
June – August
Tools for School ensures all kids have the tools they need to succeed. By hosting a product drive, you’ll reduce one known barrier preventing children and youth from successful learning and participation in school.
Coats for Kids and Families
October – February
Coats for Kids and Families provides clean, gently used coats and warm winter clothing for vulnerable children and families. By hosting a coat drive, you’ll help local families stay warm during our region’s harsh winters.
Period Promise
