Overview
Nearly New Shop
The Nearly New Shop accepts donations of gently used items that can be dropped off in the donation bin located near the elevator, Monday to Friday 10:00 to 4:00 (except holidays) and Sunday 10:00 to 2:00.
The Nearly New Shop was operating as a pop-up shop but now has a permanent home at Lansing! We are now able to assist people in need in real time. Our goal is to donate 75% money raised back into the community. Until then we are donating 50% to the community and 50% to cover costs incurred to keep Nearly New’s current setup. Nearly New is 100% volunteer run! For more information on what we do and do not accept, shopping dates, and a list of our community contributions, please click "Learn More" below.

Food Bank
The Lansing United Church Food Bank has been serving the local Lansing/Willowdale/North York community for more than 30 years. Starting out with just a few items on a shelf in the Minister's office, our food bank grew to supporting 200 families a month. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic we have had to close our food bank.

However, we are still involved with food insecurity and have partnered with NeighbourLink North York and are now a food collection hub for them.
Refugees
Don Valley Refugee Resettlers (DVRR) sponsor refugees coming to Canada to escape danger and persecution. This work is done through agreements which are held between the government of Canada and the United Church of Canada (UCC) or Anglican United Refugee Alliance (AURA).
