Thanksgiving Dinner for Harbour House

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, we would love to offer our Harbour House and Hestia Homes program participants an amazing holiday meal! If you can sponsor or donate traditional turkey dinner items, we will gratefully accept your support.

Contact inquiries@ywcalethbridge.com with questions, or just come into our main office with whatever you can contribute. We do respectfully ask that all food donations be in sealed original packaging, and not expired.

Physical Donations

One of the ways that you as the community can help to support the programs and services here at the YWCA is to donate items such as clothing, hygiene supplies, and suitcases.

The list of needed items changes based on seasonal requirements, and we do our best to keep this page as updated as possible. However, we are always grateful to accept your donations anytime of year. All items can be brought to the main reception desk on the main floor of our building (604 8 St. S.) for acceptance into our inventory.

We are currently in need of the following items to support our YWCA Lethbridge & District programs:

Warmer clothing including warm pyjamas & bathrobes
Winter boots/shoes
Full size shampoo and conditioner
Full size liquid body wash
New, unused socks/underwear/bras

Please ensure all donations are clean, empty of personal effects, and if hygiene products, new & unused in original packaging. For health and safety reasons, we cannot accept opened products.

YWCA Lethbridge and District is so thankful for the support from our community.

Please contact us at inquiries@ywcalethbridge.com for larger items or for questions on donations.

Donations are accepted Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
