  2. Hi, I have an elliptical machine that is about 7 years old, but hardly used. Do you know of any charities that I can donate it to? I need someone to pick it up as well. I live in Surrey, BC.

    • Hi Sharon, I have reached out to a charity to see if I can find you some options. CharityWishList.ca doesn’t collect anything itself. I will follow-up again with you as soon as I hear back from them. Thanks, Michelle Beaupre

    Hi Michelle:

    I have 4 sets of men’s hockey jerseys (20-22 per set) that I’d like to donate.

    They are in different colours, red,white,blue and gold.

    They are in prety good shape and would also fit teens.

    • Hi Brian, that’s wonderful! I have reached out to Urban Native Youth Association in Vancouver BC. They asked that I send them an email with the information. I just did and I have cc’d you on the email. If you haven’t heard from them in the next couple of days, maybe reach out to them to follow-up.

      Hope this is helpful,

      p.s., please let me know how it works out

  13. Did the downhill Ski donation in 2019 work out? I’ve got some skis that also need a new home

    • Hi Rob, I don’t know what donation you are referring to, CharityWishList.ca doesn’t accept any donations of items. It is like a directory that helps you find charities near you that want what you want to give away. Then you contact them directly. You could try reaching out to https://recforkids.com for the Vancouver area.

      Hope this information helps; and thank you for wanting to find a new home for your equipment.

      Thank you for your inquiry about donating your dad’s golf clubs and bag. For Richmond BC, I suggest contacting your local university’s or high school gym department. Or contacting your local golf club’s golf pro and asking if he knows of a dedicated golf student that perhaps can not afford their own set of clubs. Or you could donate to your local church for their yard sale.

  18. I have two complete sets of men’s soccer shirts that I would like to have sent to Africa….

    • Hi Martin,
      Sorry CharityWishList.ca doesn’t have information on International charities. My site is like a directory of Canadian Charities. You may want to see if there is an Embassy perhaps that could point you in the right direction. Or try a university that has social clubs that may have connections.

      Hope that helps some,
      CharityWishList.ca

  19. I have two pairs of hardly-used figure skates – one man’s and one woman’s – to donate. I am in White Rock/South Surrey area.

      Or contact Vancouver Female Ice Hockey Association

      (I know you said figure skates, but they may know a figure skating organization that would want.)
      Or contact your local skating rink/arena. They may be aware of current equipment drives in progress.
