Support Jessie's - The June Callwood Centre for Young Women
Bras, underwear, and personal care items are symbols of self-care and dignity that everyone should have access to. And Broad's community can help!
From October 1-31, 2025, Broad is hosting a donation drive for Jessie’s - The June Callwood Centre for Young Women. Each person who donates to the drive will receive $15 off their next Broad purchase until November 30, 2025. Read on for more details!

When and where can donations be dropped off?
Broad is accepting donations during store hours. Please knock when you arrive, and a staff member will assist you and give you your $15 off discount slip. Please do not bring donations outside of store hours, or without checking in with Broad staff. You won't get your discount code, and your donations could get damaged if left outside!

We'll also accept cash or cheque donations in-store, and if you prefer to donate online, you can do so through our special link here.
