Uplift Canada is officially under construction. After nearly 4 years of operation, the Uplift Canada Foundation is pausing our regular monthly operations. In our efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of our organization, we’ve made the difficult decision to pause our monthly donation weekends for this season, from September through the end of April. This decision allows us to focus on creating a more sustainable model for our future operations.
Over the past few years, in collaboration with 10 shelters across Canada, communities across the lower mainland managed to save over 7500 lbs of clothing from landfills and instead helped those in need. We cannot begin to describe how grateful we are for the community that has helped us over the years. Your support, whether through volunteering, donations, or simply spreading the word, has been crucial to our efforts.
The Uplift Team wants to emphasize that this isn’t a goodbye, but more of a “see you soon!” Working with you and supporting your communities has brought us immense joy and fulfillment. Your commitment and generosity have been at the heart of our mission, and we’re incredibly grateful for all the ways you’ve contributed.
Thank you for your patience and trust as we navigate this transition - stay tuned for exciting things to come! 💛💚
Since January 2021, Uplift Canada has worked closely with communities across the lower mainland of British Columbia to up-cycle gently used clothing and redistribute items to local shelters. As a registered non-profit organization, we strive to foster meaningful change by liaising directly with shelters to ensure the items we collect are the items they need. Together, we are combatting clothing waste by reducing the items that end up in the landfill, ensuring that gently used items are repurposed and those that can't be, are properly recycled.
Interested in supporting your community? Each month we choose a different region within the lower mainland to ensure everyone has a chance to contribute to Uplift Canada's initiatives. Our team of volunteers make it easy for you. From collecting donations to sorting and distributing clothing, all you need to do is leave your items on your doorstep!
A core value at Uplift is intentional giving. Given the lack of storage in shelter housing and direct feedback from staff, we will now be asking for specific items ONLY each month, to ensure our giving is intentional. Each month, shelter partners formulate an "Accepted Items Lists", which guides the clothing items we accept.
