What is Community Living?

Established in 1989, Community Living is a nonprofit organization that collects gently used clothing and small household items throughout Saskatchewan. We collect donations via our yellow bins located in communities all over the province, our free pick-up service, and drop-offs at our Saskatoon location (3031 Louise Street).

How do I donate to Community Living?

There are 3 ways to donate to us: you can donate your gently used clothing or soft goods in one of our yellow bins, you can schedule a free pickup, or you can drop-off your safely packed items at our Saskatoon locations (3031 Louise Street).

How do my donations make a difference?

The clothing and small household items you donate go directly towards helping people with intellectual disabilities. We take the money raised by your donations and use it to help fund the programs offered by Inclusion Saskatchewan. Thanks to your donations, people with intellectual disabilities are provided the support they need to pay rent, buy food, find employment, and be included and valued members of society.
