With spring cleaning around the corner, you might find yourself wanting to get rid of some old clothes — and that ever-growing collection of mugs.
But if they’re in good condition, don’t throw them away. Instead, donate them to the Church of the Holy Trinity’s Trinity CommUNITY HUB instead.
The hub accepts all kinds of clothing donations for all seasons, including short- and long-sleeve t-shirts, pants, sweaters, coats, shoes, belts, socks and undergarments such as bras and unused boxers and panties. Right now, the hub is most in need of big sizes, masc clothing and casual summer items. Keep in mind that volunteers aren’t able to wash items on site, so make sure you’re bringing clean clothes and no bedbugs.
If you’re clearing out cluttered cabinets, you can also donate coffee mugs, forks, kitchen towels, aprons and reusable bottles. The hub will also take backpacks, blankets, pillows, sheets, as well as playing cards, magazines, art supplies and sewing kits.
For a full list of everything you can donate, check out Holy Trinity’s Community Hub – Suggested Donations, which is regularly updated with the items they need most.
Here’s everything you need to know:
- The hub is located at 10 Trinity Sq. between Yonge and Bay streets, behind Eaton Centre.
- In-kind donations can be dropped off at the church’s eastern door on Monday through Wednesday, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
- You can also mail donations to: Community Hub, 19 Trinity Sq.,Toronto, ON, M5G 1B1.

The hub is part of the Church of the Holy Trinity (a.k.a. Holy Trinity TO), and centres unhoused, BIPOC, queer and substance-using people in Toronto. In addition to distributing clothing, harm reduction supplies and other donations to Torontonians in need, the hub hosts programming, such as community meals and hospice art therapy sessions. It also runs a volunteer program for food prep and meal service shifts on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
