Transform Your Home, Transform Lives: CARE-ITY in Partnership with Canada Helps.org
Canadian Appliance Recycling Enterprises (CARE) proudly announces the launch of CARE-ITY, a purpose-driven initiative in partnership with CanadaHelps.org, designed to empower customers to make eco-conscious appliance purchases while giving back to communities across Ontario.
Since 2017, CARE has been at the forefront of delivering ENERGY STAR® certified appliances through government programs, championing energy efficiency and community well-being. Now, through the CARE-ITY initiative, every purchase becomes a meaningful opportunity to support the causes that matter most to you.
How It Works: Every Purchase Becomes a Donation
When you shop with CARE, you don’t just upgrade your home — you uplift communities. As part of this initiative, CARE will donate up to 10% of the pre-tax value of every eligible appliance purchase to a registered Canadian charity of the customer’s choosing, through CanadaHelps.org.
Customers can select from thousands of verified charities on the CanadaHelps platform — from local food banks and environmental initiatives to mental health organizations, Indigenous support services, and more.

Donations Made in Your Name
To honor your generosity and involvement, the donation will be made in the name of the person placing the order — not in CARE’s name. You’ll be recognized as the donor, and your chosen charity will see your name associated with the contribution.
It’s a simple, three-step process:
1. Shop: Browse top-tier ENERGY STAR appliances at careappliances.ca
2. Choose Your Cause: At checkout, in the Delivery Notes section, enter the name of the charity you’d like us to donate to. We’ll take care of the rest.
3. We Donate: CARE will contribute up to 10% of the pre-tax value of your order — in your name — directly to the charity you selected.

A New Way to Give Back — Without Paying More
Unlike traditional promotions, there’s no discount code to apply, and no extra steps are required. CARE handles the donation on your behalf, seamlessly and transparently, so you can enjoy your new appliance knowing your purchase made a real difference — with your name attached to it.
“With CARE-ITY, we’re giving our customers a chance to transform their homes — and lives — through socially responsible shopping,” says Mohammad Hansa, Director at CARE.
“It’s more than a purchase. It’s a shared commitment to building stronger, more sustainable communities.”
