A Partnership to Mail Clothing Donations in Ontario
This partnership brings together two organizations with shared values: making giving more accessible and reducing environmental impact. PUDO’s network allows us to expand our reach and serve donors who may not live near one of our Salvation Army Thrift Stores or Donor Welcome Centres. By integrating with PUDO’s network of drop-off locations, we’re offering a reliable, simple way to donate while embracing more sustainable practices in how items are transported.
Together, we’re helping Ontarians give back in a way that fits their lifestyle, on their schedule and with ease.
Who Is PUDO?
PUDO (Pick-Up Drop-Off) operates over 500 locations throughout Ontario, making donation shipping in the province easier than ever. These PUDOpoint Counters are found in familiar places like convenience stores, gas stations, and pharmacies, offering extended hours and accessible locations close to where people live and work.
PUDO is also carrier-neutral, meaning it works with multiple shipping providers such as Canada Post, FedEx, and UPS, allowing for added flexibility and reliability.
