Donor FAQs
How can I best help Project SHARE?
A monetary gift is one of the best ways to help Project SHARE. Project SHARE purchases emergency food in bulk through monetary donations to obtain the best price per unit. All donations $20 and over will receive a charitable gift receipt.
Donations of food and essential household items (hygiene products, toiletries, etc) make a great impact as well. Our food room distributes over 1,250,000 lbs of food and essential household items each year.
In order to serve our community, Project SHARE relies on Food drives, Project SHARE events, 3rd party events, barrels at community partners, support from local grocery stores, bakeries, farmers, restaurants and donations from the community.
Do you prefer donations of money, gift cards or food?
Project SHARE gratefully accepts donations of fresh, frozen and non-perishable foods and monetary gifts. Monetary donations go further to purchase emergency food necessities.
Do you accept donations of gently used clothing or household items?
Can I donate stocks/shares to raise funds?
Yes! Please reach out to our Fundraising Coordinator at 905-357-5121 ext 248 or fundraising@projectshare.ca
