Community Partners help bring good things to rural communities.

Businesses, organizations, municipalities, and community groups can support events and projects through financial contributions, in-kind donations, advertising, or by sharing their expertise and resources.

Together, we create opportunities that strengthen community connections while celebrating and supporting the great things already happening in our communities.

Whether you can help for an hour or throughout the year, volunteers make many community projects possible.

Volunteer opportunities may include:

Event setup and cleanup
Greeting participants
Helping with games and activities
Sorting clothing donations
Preparing workshop supplies
Sharing your skills or knowledge
Photography or social media
Behind-the-scenes project support

Everyone has something valuable to contribute.

Have useful items you're no longer using?

We often accept donations of craft supplies, event materials, office supplies, clothing, games, and other reusable items that help reduce costs and support community programming.

Giving useful items a second life helps us do more with every dollar.

One of the easiest ways to support Do Good Things Co. is simply showing up.

Attend an event, invite a friend, share a post, or tell someone about an upcoming activity.

The more people who participate, the more opportunities we can bring to rural communities.

If you'd like to provide additional support, you can also:

Leave a tip
Purchase merchandise
Register for a workshop
Sponsor a community project
Share our events with others

Every bit of support helps create more opportunities in small rural communities.

One of our favourite parts of creating activities is finding creative ways to use what's already available. Repurposing donated supplies helps reduce waste, manage costs, and create affordable opportunities for people to connect, learn, and have fun in small rural communities.

Repurposing donated supplies helps keep costs down, reduces waste, and allows us to offer affordable workshops, community activities, and hands-on learning opportunities in small rural communities.

Some wish lists include craft and activity supplies, while others focus on event equipment that helps us organize safe, welcoming, and inclusive community events.

Browse these lists to see how you can help. Every donation, big or small, helps us do more with the resources we have.

These are some of the supplies we use throughout the year for workshops, crafts, displays, and community activities.

• Magazines, atlases, maps, and old encyclopedias
• Scrapbook paper and paper craft supplies
• Stickers, stamps, and embellishments
• Pens, markers, crayons, coloured pencils, and paint
• Beads, jewelry-making supplies, and wire
• Fabric, ribbon, yarn, and sewing supplies
• Craft blanks and unfinished wood projects
• Plastic lids, bottle caps, cardboard, and other items with repurposing potential
• Miscellaneous craft supplies and creative odds and ends

Not sure if something might be useful?
Feel free to reach out—we're always happy to see what creative possibilities a donation might inspire!

• Free Clothing Swap:
Portable clothing racks, hangers, reusable shopping bags.

• Melbourne Witch Walk:
Black fabric, battery tea lights, pumpkins, etc.

• Dinosaur Day:
Dinosaur figures, sensory materials, fossils, craft supplies.

Creating safe, welcoming, and inclusive community events takes more than craft supplies. These items help us organize event spaces, improve accessibility, and create a better experience for everyone.

We're currently looking for:

• Traffic pylons and safety cones
• Delineators or traffic posts
• Portable ramps
• Outdoor cable covers / cable ramps to help reduce trip hazards
• Crossing guard-style handheld STOP signs for volunteer crossings and parking assistance
• Portable signage stands

If you have items like these you'd be willing to donate—or know of a business upgrading its equipment—we'd love to hear from you.

Sometimes we're fortunate enough to receive more supplies than we can use.

When that happens, extra craft materials and useful items are shared free of charge with local families, schools, libraries, community groups, and other organizations that can put them to good use.

We believe good supplies shouldn't sit on a shelf if they can inspire creativity somewhere else.
