WAYS TO GIVE

Homepage / Get Involved / Ways to Give

Your Generosity Powers The Depot.

Together, you help us respond to immediate needs, build long-term community health, and tackle the root causes of food insecurity. Every contribution, big or small, helps create welcoming spaces where people grow, cook, and share food, and take action together.

Thank you for being a part of our circle of care.

MAKE A DONATION

Your support makes a difference every day.

JOIN THE TABLE (MONTHLY GIVING)

Become part of our monthly giving community. Members of The Table provide steady, reliable support that keeps our fridges full and our programs running strong, all year long.

FUNDRAISE FOR THE DEPOT

Want to mobilize your friends, family, or colleagues? Our Fundraising Toolkit gives you everything you need to host a fundraiser — from a bake sale to a birthday campaign — to raise money for nourishing food and stronger community connections.

PARTNER WITH US

Businesses, foundations, and organizations play a vital role in sustaining and expanding our programs. Let’s work together to strengthen food access and community health in NDG.

MAKE A GIFT IN HONOUR OF A LOVED ONE

Celebrate someone special with a meaningful gift in their honour — for a birthday, graduation, or other milestone.
Make a note in your donation, and if you’d like us to send a card, email development@depotmtl.org

MAKE A GIFT IN MEMORY OF A LOVED ONE

Honour the memory of someone important to you by making a gift in their name.

DONATE STOCKS & SECURITIES

Donating publicly traded securities such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. By donating securities directly, your gift can go further for you and for The Depot. You can donate securities through your financial institution (or advisor), or by going to the CanadaHelps Security Donation page, completing the form and selecting The Depot Community Food Centre as your charity. Questions? Contact us at development@depotmtl.org

LEAVE A LEGACY GIFT

Leaving a gift in your will or naming The Depot as a beneficiary of your RRSP, RRIF, or life insurance policy is a powerful way to ensure nourishing food and strong community connections for generations to come.
If you’d like to learn more or discuss your options confidentially, please contact us at development@depotmtl.org

OTHER WAYS

In-kind donations: We do not accept individual food donations. Financial gifts allow us to purchase fresh, culturally diverse food at wholesale prices — on average, every $1 donated buys $3 worth of food for the community.

For bulk food donations, contact marche@depotmtl.org or 514-483-4680 ext. 205.

Donate clothes to Déjà Vu: When you drop off clothes at Déjà Vu Thrift Store (6910 Rue Saint-Jacques, Montréal, QC H4B 1V8), they donate $3 to The Depot for every two bags received.

It’s a simple way to support us and a local, community-minded business. Déjà Vu has become a significant partner, contributing nearly $10,000 annually. That number will keep growing with your support.
