Community Service Partners:
SMART Organizing has partnered with these not-for-profit or charitable service organizations serving Dufferin County and surrounding areas that benefit from donations of new and used items in support of their programs. Often during the organizing process, clients identify many items that are in great condition that can still add value to others and making donations to benefit others in need is an encourgaged practice.
Whether you use our services or not, you are encouraged to donate new and once loved items in good usable condition when you can!
