Patch is a community-specific news, information and engagement network driven by passionate and experienced media professionals. Patch is run by professional editors and salespeople. We hope that our sites will strengthen communities and improve the lives of their residents, but we can't do it without you. We've built Patch so that you have plenty of opportunities to comment on stories, share your opinions and add events to the community calendar.
Welcome to National Diabetes Trust, Canada’s largest charitable clothing and small household goods 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 clothing and household items 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 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 clothing and household items from landfill sites across Canada.
With your help, we can continue to support diabetes research, education and reduce our environmental impact. Schedule a pick up today!

We assist those in need of nutritional support who need short term (caregiver relief, recuperation, seasonal) or long term assistance. Meals On Wheels (Sudbury) currently has approximately 89 volunteers. In 2014, these volunteers accumulated over 5,000 hours with our volunteer drivers logging over 92,000 km in deliveries alone.
