About the event
Volunteering is a perfect opportunity to give back to our communities. Join us for a morning of sorting clothing donations at the WINS warehouse.

We have secured monthly volunteer shifts, so if you cant make this one we’d love to have you join another time!

WINS will provide an introduction and tour of the facility as well as a demonstration of sorting and categorizing donations. This is a really fun event as you get to check out the awesome donations that generous Calgarians are giving- some of the items they get are outright hilarious!

Time: 9am - 12pm
Address: #137 - 7007 54 St SE, Calgary (facing 52 St, across from the Calgary Soccer Centre)
*there is a little doorbell on their front door- ring this and a WINS staff member will let you in.
Attire: Closed-toed shoes, comfortable clothing. Safety vests will be provided.
Waiver: provided by WINS, to be signed on the day.
Other: Feel free to bring snacks/coffee.

A little about WINS
“Women in Need Society (WINS) is Calgary’s homegrown thrift charity, providing basic needs resources and support to women and their families.

From our humble beginning, WINS has grown from one thrift store location to five across Calgary, in addition to our Donation Centre. We have also launched a bulk thrift store, More Store by WINS, and an online thrift box service, Twice New by WINS.

The revenue from our thrift operations supports House to Home by WINS, Retail Ready by WINS and our four Community Resource Hubs by WINS.

Today, people from all walks of life frequent our thrift stores knowing their purchases and donations make a difference - right here, right now.”
