Nellie’s Community location at 754 Queen St E has permanently CLOSED. Please contact us to arrange a drop-off date and time for an In-Kind delivery at our new location 

Thank you for your interest in making a donation to Nellie’s Shelter for Women and Children. Through the generous donations from members of the community, Nellie’s is able to provide a wide variety of programs for women and their children who have and are experiencing violence, poverty, and homelessness.

The needs of the women and children receiving services from Nellie’s frequently change. Before making an In-Kind donation please contact us at 416-461-1419 or via email at ingrid@nellies.org to ensure that we are able to accept your donation as our space is very limited.

For infection control and the safety of the women and children receiving services we have to be very careful in what we accept. We DO NOT accept used items. We cannot accept used toys, child cribs, change tables, car seats, play pens, stuffed animals, used undergarments, high chairs, used books, movies, and items that are broken or in need of repair. We only accept used furniture as needed.  Please call ahead for our most up-to-date needs!

Accepted donations can be dropped off between 9 am – 5 pm, Monday to Friday unless other arrangements are made.  Please contact tnguyen@nellies.org or call 416-645-9519 to make arrangements.

We are only able to provide tax receipts for In-Kind donations that are donated in the original packaging, with the receipt of purchase, and are $20 and above. If you would like to make an In-Kind donation and are requesting a donation receipt, please contact ingrid@nellies.org before doing so.
