  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.

  15. Looking for an organization who would appreciate a donation of jerseys, volleyball, basketball and soccer, for men and women, and a volleyball net. 12 soccer jerseys, 16 basketball and volleyball jerseys. All in excellent condition.

  16. My Dad has great set of golf clubs and bag..Love to donate them Thoughts:? IN Richmond BC

    • Hi Shasta,
      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.

      Or contact Richmond’s Boys and Girls Club:

  17. I have a free standing basketball hoop available for donation. It has a large base to fill with water for support and a gear mechanism to easily adjust height. Is there a youth organization or other charity that could use this and be able to pick it up from my home in the South Surrey area?

  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.

    • Hi Phil, I can suggest contacting the Salvation Army Vancouver – thrift stores. Here is the link:
      https://salvationarmyvancouver.com/

      Or contact Vancouver Female Ice Hockey Association
      6260 Killarney St
      Vancouver, BC V5S 2X7
      [email protected]
      (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.

      Thanks for wanting to rehome still good equipment!
