Donating Gear and Equipment

We regularly accept new an/or used gear and equipment so long as it is in good quality and appropriate for our trek purposes. Items we accept include, but are not limited to: expedition backpacks, non-cotton-based sleeping bags, sleeping pads, hiking boots, camping stoves and cooking equipment, kayaks, canoes, stand up paddle boards, paddles, personal flotation devices, etc. We will not accept gear that is ripped/torn, smells of mold, has stains, or is broken in any way. It is the responsibility of the donor to pay for necessary shipping and handling. 

If you are interested in making a donation of gear/equipment, please send an email to: gwenvictorson@truenorthtreks.org with a description and photo of the item(s) and it's estimated worth. Because True North Treks is a Section 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, your gear/equipment donation may qualify as a charitable deduction for federal income tax purposes for the estimated value of the item. Following receipt of the donation, you will be provided with a thank you letter and acknowledgement from True North Treks, including the estimated worth of the donation. It is a good idea to consult with a tax adviser or the IRS to determine whether your contribution is indeed deductible.

TRUE NORTH TREKS is a national 501(c)3 nonprofit organization 
whose mission is to empower young adults and caregivers affected by cancer to reclaim the lives that cancer took through "finding direction through connection." We help the people we serve get connected to powerful and unique skills, tools, experiences, and resources that can enable them to live healthier, happier and more meaningful lives. We recognize that people of all walks of life are impacted by cancer and therefore we focus on providing programming and connection opportunities for patients, survivors, their families and cancer care professionals. In addition to supporting individuals after cancer diagnosis and treatment, cancer prevention and healthy lifestyle promotion are central to our mission and focus. We also provide cancer prevention education, wellness promotion, and positive health behavior skill acquisition programming to both the general public and those at increased cancer risk.
FIND YOUR TRUE NORTH!
One of the primary ways we  fulfill our mission is by taking groups of young adult cancer survivors and caregivers on free backpacking and canoeing treks in beautiful wilderness destinations where they can connect with nature (after going through something as unnatural as cancer treatment), connect with peers who have been through something similar, and connect with themselves through training and practice in mindfulness meditation and yoga. Our programming includes immersive excursions in wilderness settings, residential retreat experiences, training in mindfulness meditation, yoga and other contemplative and reflective practices, and the provision of resources, training, outreach, advocacy, and support in both outdoor and indoor settings. ​
