We are a network of churches in Chatham-Kent who realize that we dramatically increase our power to do good by working together. Each member church chooses how it participates in the network, but we all seek to express love in a tangible way. We meet the needs of neighbours in our community by linking them to existing services or volunteers who can help.
Welcome to National Diabetes Trust, Canada’s largest charitable small household goods and clothing collection service and the social enterprise of Diabetes Canada.
With more than 3,000 donation bins and an active home pick-up service in communities across Canada, we collect unwanted gently used household items and clothing to raise much-needed funds for Diabetes Canada. This helps support programs and research on behalf of the 11 million Canadians living with diabetes and pre-diabetes.
But we’re more than just household items and clothing donation collectors. We are an organization of dedicated professionals working with Canadians from coast to coast fighting to End Diabetes through waste diversion. Each year, the program diverts more than 100 million lbs. of household items and clothing from landfill sites across Canada.
With your help, we can continue to support diabetes research, education and reduce our environmental impact. Schedule a pickup today!
The Chatham-Kent Children's Safety Village is an educational centre where children learn about safety and injury prevention in a safe and interactive environment. Statistics show that accidental injury is the leading cause of death and disability among school aged children. The Chatham-Kent Children's Safety Village can dramatically reduce injuries by teaching individual responsibility and awareness. Through hands-on training at the Village, children develop a positive attitude toward safety that will be remembered into adulthood.The facility is 7500 square feet with a 5 acre miniature village and is located in the C.M. Wilson Conservation Area.
