Helping the Environment
If you use any inkjet or laser cartridges from printers or photocopiers, please do not throw them out! The Child Witness Centre is now partnering with The Inkwell to turn your computer trash into cash in support of child victims. It helps the environment at the same time. Millions of dollars of valuable recyclable printer cartridges are thrown into our landfills every year. We earn from $5 - 15 on eligible laser cartridges, depending on the model and brand.
Wow, what a refreshing concept, a way to help a worthwhile cause without it costing you anything. All you need do is put your empty cartridges in a plastic bag, or leave them in the original box, and drop them off at the Child Witness Centre, 100 Lancaster Street East, Kitchener between 9am and 4pm. (We’re kitty-corner to Tim Horton’s at Frederick and Lancaster).
If you are a business, we’d be glad to set up a cartridge collection box in your workplace. Call us when it’s full and we’ll send a volunteer to pick them up.
Save A Tape
Your Zehrs and Sobeys tapes are valuable to us. Save up a bundle, than drop them off at the agency. Some stores have a drop-box area. Begin saving them today! Every bit helps.
In-Kind Items
Every year we ask businesses and individuals for in-kind donations for our silent auctions, raffles or special events held throughout the year. Sample items include gift certificates for restaurants, salons, spas, children’s toys, clothing, golf apparel, kitchenware, and much more. Your donation would be recognized in all printed material and on display tables. If you have anything you would like to donate, please drop it off at the agency, or give us a call and someone will be happy to pick up your items.
Don't Know What to Give the Person Who Has Everything?
Why not a donation to the Child Witness Centre in their name! You would be helping a worthy cause and the community at large. So next time you need a gift for a teacher, birthday, anniversary, or retirement party, think of us!
As well, at weddings, the bridge and groom might consider putting a note at each place setting saying "in lieu of favours, we have made a donation to the Child Witness Centre."
Call Linda Mark at 744-0904 if you have any questions regarding any of the above items.
