Donate Goods
Financial contributions to Calgary Women’s Emergency Shelter are the best way to help as they provide the most flexible and efficient way of helping people. A cash donation allows us to purchase items in bulk and to purchase exactly what is needed by the women and children we help, when they need it most.
Another way to help is to donate through the Wish Book, available online. If you would like to receive a copy of our Wish Book in the mail, please call our donations line at 403 539-5130.
If you would like to purchase items, please contact the gift in kind coordinator at gik@cwes.ca. All goods being donated must be new (never used, tags on) items. Please make sure to provide your purchase receipt and you may be eligible for a tax receipt.
Effective August 2011:
- Gift cards so we can buy specific items as they are needed for women and children. Cards from WalMart, Superstore and other businesses where both clothes and food can be purchased are preferable
- Calgary Transit passes -- women have to get to job interviews, to court and check out new places to live
Arrange for drop-off by calling Calgary Women's Emergency Shelter donations line at (403) 539-5130 or send an email to gik@cwes.ca. Please call before rounding-up larger donations of purchased goods to see what is needed most at that time.
Many thanks to those individuals and corporations for ensuring our shelves are stocked with toiletries and clothing for our clients.
