ABOUT US

Who We Are

Gifts in Kind is a non-profit program established in Ottawa by United Way in 2001. We act as a central hub, gathering donations of surplus goods and services from individuals, corporate, governmental and non-profit entities and distributing them to over 200 non-profit agencies in the city of Ottawa. The Gifts in Kind program has been managed by the Rideau Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre since 2011. Over the last 7 years, Gifts in Kind distributed over $5 million worth of donations to Ottawa non-profit agencies.

Our Mission

In order to create a strong network of social service organizations with the capacity to meet the needs of their communities, we serve as a durable bridge for the donation of goods and services from the free-enterprise economy, individuals, governmental and non-profit agencies to other humanitarian agencies and individuals.

Our Vision

A caring community where surplus goods and services are purposefully used to reduce poverty and eliminate inequality.
