Your Gracious Gifts Sustain Us
Our Essential Care Program is a fundamental pillar of Regeneration. The ability to provide our guests with basic human needs such as food and clothing is vital for their survival. As such, we graciously accept donations at our Regeneration Marketplace location at 253 Queen Street East.

Do You Have a Car to Donate?
Did you know you can donate your car to us, and it doesn’t even need to be in running condition?
We’ve partnered with Donate a Car Canada to facilitate car donations and make it as simple as possible for you. When you donate your car, truck, RV, boat, or motorcycle to Regeneration through Donate a Car Canada, it will either be recycled or re-sold (depending on its condition, age, and your location).
Donate a Car Canada will look after all the details to make it easy. You will also receive a tax receipt after Donate a Car Canada processes your vehicle donation.
Just visit the website and fill out the form to start the process of turning your vehicle into a generous donation to further our work in the community.
Success In Numbers
It’s because of your compassion and generous donations that our annual numbers continue to rise. Thank you for making Regeneration possible.

Guest Experiences
Meet Charlie – A Regeneration Transformation
Charlie came to Regeneration in his 50s. He was experiencing homelessness, grieving his divorce, and dealing with heartbreak. COVID-19 caused him to lose his job and the temp agency he was working with simply didn’t provide enough regular income to live on.
