Free Up Space at Home Without Throwing Away What Can Still Be Used.
Do you have clothing, shoes, textiles or small reusable items taking up space at home? When possible, Fondation La Collecte can arrange a home collection based on your area, the volume and the type of items you wish to donate. It’s a simple, free and responsible way to give away items that can still be used while making a meaningful social and environmental impact.
Every bag donated becomes a meaningful gesture that directly supports the youth mentoring programs of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Montreal.

Creating Space Also Creates Impact
With home collection, Fondation La Collecte introduces a simple idea: donating can meet a practical need in your everyday life. You’re not just “cleaning up.” You’re not simply “making a donation.” You’re creating space while keeping reusable items from being thrown away. That’s the idea behind Creating Space: helping individuals, families, businesses and communities make room in their surroundings while generating a positive social and environmental impact. Every reusable item donated can continue its useful life while helping fund the mentoring programs of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Montreal.
