Donate Bulk Supplies

If you would like to help us by purchasing or donating supplies in bulk, at wholesale prices, please check out our Wishlist with the Bargains Group. Not only will you get the best value and be able to provide Start Me Up Niagara with essential supplies, but they will also provide a case of extra donations from their
Full Circle Donation Program!

Thank You, but No Thank You

While we appreciate your generous donations, there are a few things we cannot accept.

Computer items, electronics, furniture, clothing that is unclean, ripped or damaged, and food prepared in a home kitchen.

Support Our Work

Your donations go directly to frontline service and supports for our participants who experience homelessness and other mental health and addictions issues.
