Helping people create a place called home
Shelter to Home
We’re providing furniture and household items to people on the North Shore transitioning from homelessness to independent living.
We believe that acts of compassion can change lives.
Our mission is to provide furniture and household items, at no cost, to people living on the North Shore, who are either transitioning from homelessness to independent living, or who are living on extremely limited incomes. We gratefully accept furniture donations (and financial contributions) from residents of North Vancouver and West Vancouver. We coordinate with local agencies to help our clients establish a comfortable home.
October 2024 Update
Our Team is sad to bring you the news, that as of November 30th, 2024, we will be without a home, due to the unexpected termination of our lease at the Shelter to Home warehouse. This means, that until we are able to secure a new location, both our Client and Donor services will be suspended until further notice.
We are searching for a new warehouse space. Read our blog posts for more details.
Our wish at this time is to resume operations as quickly as possible and to continue to provide the same services to our wonderful community that we have over the past 16 years. We thank you for your patience and ongoing support and ask that you please ‘stay tuned’ for further updates.

to a furnished home.
Shelter to Home is supported by the generous residents of the North Shore through donations of furniture and household goods, and by the financial support of individuals and organizations. Information about our partners is available on the "Community" tab.
How can you help?
We accept gently used furniture and household items from North Shore residents. We welcome cash donations from everyone to cover the cost of storage and moving.
