Call for Donations
Monetary:
Support intersectional sex worker justice! We are a grassroots volunteer-based organization. Please support our work by making a donation.
Any E-Transfer or PayPal donations can be sent to: SWAPhamilton@gmail.com or message us for information on sending a cheque.
Postal mail can be addressed to SWAP: #105- 370 Main Street East, Hamilton, ON L8N 1A2
Please reach out to your community networks, leverage your relationships with business(es) owners, and encourage a donation of items or funds to SWAP on your personal social media. This is so we can really start making a tangible effect in the lives of those who are most vulnerable and in need of moral, and social support.
If you are a business who would like to display our print resources, please contact us.
Material:
We mainly look for clothing donations such as bras and underwear, socks, and seasonal wear like jackets and gloves/hats/mittens. For other clothing items, the Eva Rothwell Centre has a very good system for providing low-income folks with clothing; please donate those items there.
Please email us at SWAPHamilton@gmail.com or contact through Facebook for information about dropping off donations.
