DONATIONS OF
​TOILETRY AND FOOD ITEMS

Picture
We gratefully accept donations of toiletry items to add to our pantry at the Centre. We can only accept unopened items, and prefer full sized items as travel sized only lasts a couple of days for an individual. While we accept products that are scented, we also ask for scent-free products as there are individuals who have scent sensitivities.  Here is a list of frequently used items:
  • ​Shampoo, Conditioner, Hair Products
  • Body Wash, Soap, Deodorant 
  • Sanitary Items
  • Face Cloths, Wipes, Cotton Pads, Kleenex
  • Band-aids, Polysporin, First Aid Items
  • Razors, Shaving Cream
  • Lip Balm, Makeup 
  • Body Lotion, Face Cream
  • Hair Elastics, Combs, Brushes

We also stock food items and ask for any donations such as:  
  • Chips, Popcorn, Tins, Pasta, Snacks, Granola Bars, 

If you are in need of any of these items, please drop by the Centre to help yourself to our self-serve shelves in reception.  

If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to let us know at
​902-640-3044 or [email protected].

OTHER DONATED ITEMS

​If you have other items (furniture, clothing, household items etc), either new or gently used, that you would like to donate to Second Story, we ask that you please reach out to us here at the Centre first to check whether we can take the donation at that time. Unfortunately, because of a lack of space to store donated items at the Centre, we are only able to accept donations of items that meet a specific, immediate need of a women using the Centre's services. For example, if you have a couch that you are looking to donate, we would ask that you call us at 902-640-3044 or email [email protected] with a description or photo of the item, so that we can then check with our clients to see whether it is something they can use. We greatly appreciate being thought of when you have items to donate, and are thankful for the generosity that this community has shown our organization.
Other local organizations that may be able to accept your donations include
  • The Daisy
  • Harbour House
  • Family Resource Centre
  • St. Vincent de Paul (furniture)
  • the Flourish Centre
