Where can I find a clothing drop box (salvation army, big brothers, united way etc) within Downtown Toronto?

Question

I am not partial to any charity, but I would like to know of any clothing dropbox locations you know of, within downtown Toronto (Canada).

Answer 1

google: toronto salvation army   so that you can choose one of the many salvation army drops in toronto

Answer 2

United Way and Big Brothers do not participate in "drop boxes" as far as I know.

I believe Salvation Army still has a big outlet store on Jarvis St. at Adelaide. You can drop off things there, even large things, or buy if you wish.  Goodwill  offers the same type of drop-off service, and has many  box locations.

Depending on their volunteer situation at the time, if you have something large, and worthwhile, Sally Ann may even arrange for a truck to come and pick it up from you.

I did this once in Richmond Hill, when I had to clear out a whole apartment. Sally Ann sent a volunteer with a cube van.  He and I filled it and he went back to the store, emptied it and returned for the second load.  

You can contact either of them at these on-line locations.
