Support Us

The generosity of private donors, businesses, and organizations has had a major impact on the Humber Arboretum over the years. New buildings, expanded collections, important research, and enhanced nature education have all been made possible by the contributions of our supporters.

Leaf-shaped plaques on a wall bear the names of various past donors.

Donate Your Used Children's Outerwear to the Humber Arboretum

Children's snowpants and winter jackets hang from hooks

 

Do you have used children's outerwear that your family no longer needs but is still in good condition? Sometimes children arrive for school programs or nature camps at the Humber Arboretum under-dressed for the weather and need to borrow outerwear to be able to fully participate. We will happily take the following outerwear for kids and young teens:

  • winter hats, mitts, gloves, scarves, earmuffs
  • winter jackets
  • snow pants
  • winter boots
  • rain jackets
  • splash pants
  • rain boots

Please contact us to arrange a time to bring your donation to the Centre for Urban Ecology.

Thank you for your support!
