With respect to clothing – prior to donating, we encourage you to consider the pieces for donation and if they’re of a quality and cleanliness you would be okay with one of your loved ones wearing. While Rossbrook House has the resources to launder donated materials, we do not have the resources to do deep cleans or mend items.

* Please consider redirecting donations of furniture or housewares to Oyate Tipi Cumini Yape.

Oyate Tipi is a non-profit organization located in Winnipeg which accepts donations of gently used household goods and furniture. All items are then distributed to women and children who are trying to better themselves by escaping poverty and/or abusive situations.
