Another method of contributing to CDCD is through our Get-Involved In-Kind program.
Many organizations and individuals are able to provide CDCD with donations of vital goods, greatly reducing the costs of our programs and services.
If you are interested in donating, the Community Development Council Durham (CDCD) Donation Program is committed to supporting eligible residents of the Durham Region, including newcomers, by providing essential donated items such as food, clothing, furniture, household goods, toys, and back-to-school supplies. All donated items, including clothing and household items, must be in good, usable condition. Clothing donations must be placed in clear plastic bags and clearly labelled.
We also operate a Virtual Furniture Bank Connect, which matches donors directly with CDCD clients based on their specific needs. Once a match is confirmed, donors and clients coordinate a pickup time with support and collaboration from the CDCD donations team.
All recipients are registered clients within the CDCD Donation Program. Please note that we accept items seasonally (e.g., winter items in winter and summer items in summer) to ensure donations align with current community needs.
