Helping people is what we do. We rely on community donations to provide free wrap-around services to financially disadvantaged families.
If you are experiencing financial hardship please click the orange 'New Families: Register Here' button so we can assist you.
Regular Hours of Operation: Monday to Friday: 9:30 am to 4:00 pm, Saturday 9:30 am to 1 pm
Please click here for a list of items we accept. We are accepting fall and winter clothing!
Please drop off clothing at the charity, at 166 South Service Rd East, Oakville during the listed hours. Our Dropbox is also available at the same location from Monday to Saturday, 9:30 am to 4:30 pm.
If you can separate and label your clothing donations, with 'RECYCLE' on bags containing well-worn items, it greatly assists our volunteer teams.
We accept only items on this list. Our volunteers appreciate you taking the time to review, and respect that we must turn away items that we can’t use.
As part of our commitment to reducing waste, excess clothing donation may be sent to recycling, with the proceeds invested back into the charity. We also host end-of-season garage sales to help us to manage clothing inventory.

It’s a Pleasure to Serve You
Safetynet provides wrap-around services that encourage independence and help to break the cycle of poverty.
If your family is suffering financial hardship, feel free to contact Safetynet for a needs assessment. A needs assessment is where families are invited to sit down with one of our volunteers to develop a plan to best service the entire family.
We will determine if you require one of Safetynet's programs, or we will refer you to another community partner who can better assist your needs.
