Help us send a container of used household items to Africa

Donation protected
Hi

My name is Mathew and I need your help in changing the lives of people in Africa and keeping household items out of the landfill in Canada

I have a family owned and operated Junk Removal business here in North Vancouver - www.cityjunk.ca
I have owned this business for close to four years and while we have worked very hard to divert items from the landfill it has become increasingly difficult to do so as donation centres become full. This has resulted in more and more good and useable items going into the landfill

We need your help in raising money so that we can send these items to Africa so that they can be put to good use

Many people in Africa are still sleeping on the ground in shanty towns and are without the absolute basics like a mattress to sleep on, we are looking to make a difference in these peoples lives.

Our first step is to run a pilot project to prove the model and then we will be rolling this out as a non profit organization and ultimately a charitable organization

Three ways that you can help:

  • Cash donation - every bit helps
  • Fill in the contact form here Join contact list and be added to our list for exclusive free item giveaways. Items are free for anyone on the list but a donation would be appreciated
  • Book Junk removal with our company and we will donate a portion of the revenue from your job to our fundraiser. For example: If 25% of the items in your load can be sent to Africa, 25% of the cost becomes a donation

The money that we raise will be used for:

  • Container Storage
  • packing and sorting and handling labor
  • packing materials
  • vehicle costs ( gasoline etc)
  • transporting container between north vancouver and port of vancouver
  • Logistics: shipping, handling, documentation
  • duties, taxes and tariffs
  • receiving of container and shipment to destination in Africa
  • Armed security detail to ensure safe delivery at destination
  • Other costs

Below is all my contact information, if you have any questions feel free to reach out

Cheers
