Why Give?

One reason people give is it actually makes us feel good. The knowledge that you’re helping others is hugely empowering and, in turn, can make you feel happier and more fulfilled. Besides the selfish reason of making us feel better, a widely cited feeling of social conscience was the primary reason most give to charity. Whatever type of charity work they supported, 96% of people said they felt they had a moral duty to use what they had to help others – a sentiment very much rooted in their personal values and principles. Moreover, the world has changed since the Pandemic. It has encouraged many of us to take a closer look at our local communities and to consider how we can make a difference. Giving to charity, and particularly locally, can be a powerful way to invest in the people and places that make up our everyday lives.


How do the Orange Bags work?

We do regular pick ups in your area and send bags to all the homes in Toronto. If you need more bags you can order some here or you can schedule a pick up if you have a large donation. Simply fill the orange bag with the items you wish to donate, and then put the orange bag out at the end of your drive on the date of pick up. Our team will retrieve the bag and credit our charity partners on your behalf.

What Do You Do With My Donation?

All proceeds from the sale of your items will be used to fund our operations with 100% of surplus monies going to charities supporting Animal Rescue, with our primary charity being SAFAS, Frontier Animal Society Shelter. After we receive your donation, we sort all items we receive, and sell them to thrift stores, wholesalers and exporters. Unsellable items will be sent to a recycling center or used for shop towels.
