NEW – Other ways to contribute

SWITCH accepts donations of home grown produce, gently used clothing and accessories, and books and toys for kids.  All donations go to assisting families in Saskatoon’s core neighbourhoods.

Homework Help Centre - SWITCH is starting an all ages drop-in homework help centre on Wednesday evenings at the clinic. We need students who are interested in assisting with schoolwork during shifts. We are also looking for donations of school supplies: paper, pencils, erasers, rulers, calculators, etc.

Wild game donations – SWITCH accepts dressed wild game and fowl and uses it to create nutritious and tasty meals for our clients.

Clothing, Books and Toys for children ages 0-12 – SWITCH gratefully accepts donations which can enrich our child care programming.

Annual Women’s Pamper Night – Once a year SWITCH puts on a spa night for the women of Saskatoon.  We arrange to have hair styling, massages, nail treatments, and childcare is provided.  We also put together take-home care packages of self-care and beauty products.  This year we will also be collecting gently used bras.  If you have any bras to donate, please drop them off at the SWITCH office during our hours of operation at the beginning of February 2013.  The Annual Women’s Pamper Night will be on February 7th, 2013.

SWITCH will be hosting an Art Auction Fundraiser in April.  We are asking for donated work in all art forms.  The auction will take place online from April 1 – April 30 2013.  If you re interested in donating artwork, please contact Danielle, the Program Coordinator, by email (switchprogramcoordinator@gmail.com) or drop artwork off at Westside Community Clinic (1528 20th Street West) during SWITCH hours (Mon/Wed 5:30p-8p, Sat 11a-1:30p).
