YWCA Peterborough Haliburton

Just tried to donate hundreds of mini bottles of brand new shampoos, conditioners, body lotions and shower gels. My husband took everything packed in boxes to them and they refused to accept them. Their attitude was not very nice. I called them and explained what we had and they never even returned my call. I had to call them twice just to see if I could donate. When he got there - they made him feel uncomfortable. I will NEVER donate there again. My husband found another shelter that was very appreciative.

Shameful!! A month ago I called with NEW clothes from our warehouse. Wanting to give back especially to crossroads and my donation was welcomed as they service a large territory not just Peterborough. At the time I explained I had more but was unable to carry more than one bag at a time. I was told fantastic please bring the rest when I was able. I just stopped in with 2 well packed reusable shopping bags and was told the YWCA no longer needs any donations??? That's criminal. Do not waste your time going to them. Apparently there are no women or children in need of assistance in Peterborough and Haliburton The annual cash donation will be redirected to another more deserving charity.

Very welcoming and informative

All the ladies at the YWCA are so great. They have helped me greatly in getting through a very tough time in my life. It is a service I never knew existed but now I am so grateful and I would have been lost without it.
