Donations can be dropped off at the back door:
- Monday – Friday: 8:30 a.m. – 12 noon.
No adult clothing or household items please. Do not leave bags or boxes outside the door if it is locked as they get opened and create a mess.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Services:
- Distribution of children’s donated items to clients:
These include clothing, toys, books, shoes and boots, coats, and baby equipment, including strollers highchairs, and bassinets. Clients must call the church office on a weekday morning or send us an email to make an appointment to come to the CNDC.
We are open to receive clients on Tuesday mornings between 9 and 12. We book appointments on the hour, starting a 9am, 10am, and 11am.
Families are usually allowed two large bags of clothing and may come to the CNDC once per season. No referral is necessary for this part of our program.
- Provision of new infant car seats:
A referral from a social service agency/worker or the hospital is necessary to access new infant car seats. The worker should contact the CNDC by email well in advance of the due date, to find out if a car seat is available and make arrangements for it to be picked up.
Clients picking up a seat will be asked if they are able to give a small cash donation (could be $2, $5) which goes toward the purchase of more car seats. It would be helpful if workers make this known to their clients. If the family cannot donate, this is not a problem.
If at all possible, we prefer that car seats are picked up on a regular Tuesday morning, but other arrangements can be made. We do not give out car seats more than a few weeks prior to the due date.
Please note, we do not have the next stage car seat for older infants.
Access to Services: For general information, requests for CNDC brochures, or questions regarding the availability of other baby equipment, please email the coordinators, Lynne Carroll or Connie Lacey at: [email protected]
