A truck and volunteers will be present before and after the Saturday and Sunday Masses.

Donated goods are provided to our Neighbours in Need in communities across the GTA, or sold to the public through our two retail locations, or sold wholesale to partnering organizations that share a fair value for the goods donated. In turn, these proceeds are then used to support the work of the Society. See the posted flyer for accepted and unacceptable items.
