Hi, I have a recumbent bike, treadmill , and two adult bikes I would like to donate but I am not sure how. They all work! Can you help me out?
Hi Mr. Desclouds, thank you for your inquiry. You would need to phone one of the charities listed above on the CharityWishList.ca website directly to arrange for pick-up of the recumbent bike, treadmill and two adult bikes. CharityWishList.ca is like a directory and doesn’t collect anything itself. I would suggest first trying the Ottawa Senators Foundation at 613-599-0323 or by e-mail at [email protected]. Secondly I would suggest RightBike https://rightbike.org or St. Vincent de Paul (contact info at https://charitywishlist.ca/select-province/ontario/ottawa/sports-equipmentsports-clothes-ottawa-area/#comment-4067
Hope this helps,

Is there an organization that exists that sends used sports equipment to under developped countries? We are located in Ottawa (school looking to donate).
Hi, probably, but there are lots of folks here in Canada, Ottawa even, who could likely use your sports equipment donations.

I have a commercial Life Fitness elliptical that I’m looking to donate to a charity. It wouldn’t be appropriate for St Vincent de Paul or Salvation Army. Any suggestions, its a fairly large machine in good working order.
Hi Chris, I would suggest contacting the Sens Foundation by phone at 613-599-0323 or by e-mail at [email protected] they might want a commercial Life Fitness elliptical for the charities they help out. If that doesn’t work out, let me know and I’ll see what else we can come up with. Maybe a minor hockey team.
Hi, I sent 2 different emails to the [email protected] and neither one received any reply.
So i assume that they are not interested. Is there another option out there? I would think that this is something that you would think someone could benefit from.
Hi Chris, sorry to hear that you are having difficulty reaching them. They may be swamped with inquiries. They are currently not open. I will look into it when their office is open Friday. Have you tried any of the other charities from the CharityWishList.ca website?
Hi Chris, I just spoke with Barry at the Sens Foundation. He is working on finding a group interested in your donation of gym equipment. He will be in touch with you directly as soon as he hears back from his contacts. Thanks.

Hello, We have a home gym that we no longer require as we are downsizing. We purchased it from Fitness Depot in January 2007.
It is very big and would need to be disassembled for moving.
Is this something your organization would be interested in?
Thank you

Hi, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask. I am a Recreation Director in our small community (population about 1000). I am looking for new or used hockey equipments for all ages. If anyone can help me, or where to ask for donations. Thank you
Hi Natelena, thank you for your question. In which city and province are you located?
– Michelle Beaupre, CharityWishList.ca
Hi, ok Clyde River, Nunavut, thanks. I have mentioned your request to someone who was looking to donate equipment recently. If they are interested and still have the equipment they will likely contact you directly. You may want to try hockey organizations, maybe sometimes they could have too much of certain equipment donations and perhaps could share with you any excess?
Best of luck,

Thank you!
Looking for hockey equipment so I can play sledge hockey. Everything else fee and attendant wise is covered but this will be the 5th sport where either transportation or equipment is the issue not the cost itself as that is covered by the passport program but without the equipment I still can’t play and where I had connections fell through ie did not follow up and season starts next week. Do I even pick up the sledge knowing next week without equipment I will just have to return it!

Hi Kameron, thank you for your inquiry. You would need to contact organizations directly with your request. CharityWishList.ca doesn’t accept any items itself so doesn’t have any to give away. I would suggest trying the organizations that collect items that people donate – a list can be found at: https://charitywishlist.ca/select-province/ontario/ottawa/sports-equipmentsports-clothes-ottawa-area/
I hope this is helpful, all the best,

Hi
With the COVID going on, do you accept used hockey equipment. Has not been used for years but it is a full set. In great shape, along with some older wooden sticks.
Hi Mark, thank you for wanting to donate your hockey equipment. CharityWishList.ca is like a directory, I help you find charities interested in what you want to give away. Nothing is collected directly. I have left a voice message for the Senators Community Foundation to call me back to see if they have a program currently accepting donations of hockey equipment. I will email you once I hear back. If they don’t I will try a few more places for you.
Thanks,

I’m looking to give away some adult hockey shoulder pads, elbow pads and pants to avoid putting them in the garbage. All are well used but serviceable, size X-large. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Alan
Hi Alan, a few options:
“Likely the easiest location to donate the equipment is to visit one of our Sensplexes, once they are reopened and donate the equipment there. There are hockey net receptacles in the main lobby of the Bell and Richcraft Sensplexes that accept donations for our Equipment for Kids program. Alternatively, he could also visit one of the eleven participating Canadian Tire locations in the fall when the net receptacles are more likely to be available in their stores (they usually remove them in the spring/summer). – Director, Fan and Community Development, Ottawa Senators Hockey Club.
Or, you could donate to Saint Vincent de Paul Society (Charity), here is the link to the donation bin locator for Ottawa: https://saintvincentdepaul.ca/our-locations
Thank you for going to the effort to re-home the items so someone can make use of them, rather than tossing them away.
Hope this info helps,
Michelle Beaupre, CharityWishList.ca

I have 14 rolls of trainers choice sports/athletic tape left over from my kinesiology degree that I would like to donate. They are all still in the original (opened) box. Do you know of any places that would take these?
Hi Courtney, I can suggest contacting TORONTO KIWANIS BOYS & GIRL CLUB. I just updated their wishlist link. They have a running event so this might be a perfect fit for your tape donation. You would need to reach out to them yourself. Here is the contact info:
