Email Correspondence with Our Staff
Due to our extremely high security measures, clients may occasionally have an email returned to them as “Blocked.” If this happens to you after sending a message to someone on our team, please call our office at 705-445-5599 Ext 1229. Sandy Coates will work with our technical team to rectify the issue immediately.
We adhere to extremely stringent compliance measures with all levels of communication, and sometimes we may need to whitelist an email communication on the server level. Thank you for your patience!
Spring Cleaning?
Consider Donating to These Organizations
If you’ve gotten the spring-cleaning itch, consider donating your unwanted items to these charitable organizations:
- GTHS Treasure Trails—Donate your housewares, clothing, and furniture. Donations benefit the Georgian Triangle Humane Society, which provides shelter for homeless animals and helps caring families adopt them. Donations accepted by appointment only.
- Habitat ReStore—Donate your housewares, appliances, furniture, building materials, hardware, and tools. This organization benefits the Habitat for Humanity South Georgian Bay, an organization that builds homes in our community for those in need.
Are you planning on selling your items? Here are some organizations you could support to give back to those in our community:
- The Busby Centre—Formerly known as Out of the Cold Collingwood, this organization provides emergency shelter services 24/7, as well as outreach services to those in need.
- Home Horizon/Barbara Weider House—This organization provides at-risk youth with a variety of services. Their mission is to help transform the lives of youth at risk of homelessness.
While food donations are great if you have canned goods or unopened pantry items that have yet to expire, consider a financial contribution to these organizations, so they can buy in bulk or purchase items that are needed most:
- The Salvation Army – Collingwood Food Bank, Collingwood
- Society of St. Vincent de Paul – Collingwood
