Keep calling after we donated in the past. Think they have decided are much more favourable to them than I am and they just hang up when I answer. Pain in the b#"%.

I got a call from them yesterday. I regularly donate clothing items as 11 year old son is always growing out of his clothes. The only thing that I found strange is that when they asked me to confirm my address they had my old address on file so I told them that my address had changed. They also wanted to know what my name was. I told them my first name, but they also wanted to know what my last name was. I didn't feel comfortable with that. If they show up at my house and see stuff to be donated on my doorstep, it should be obvious to them that it's from me.

Next time answer it and ask to be taken off their call list.

If this is such a deserving charity, why is the name not displayed via caller id and why to they call me 2-3 times a day every day? I have previously answered their call and listened to the pitch and politely said no, yet they keep calling.

The man has an excellent point about the high fructose. Diabetes is an excellent money maker for big pharma. Most of us don't need to be diabetic or pre-diabetic but we do have to get off our butts and educate ourselves. Find a good naturopath that will take the time to explain how to really control your blood sugar, lose the belly fat and really stabilize your blood sugar 24/7.  

This number called and I didn't look before answering.  It was an automated call for old clothes pickup for the Diabetes Association.

Canadian Diabetes Clothesline calling about any extra clothes that they can come pick up.

Don't listen to the above posters complaining about for-profit enterprises, these guys are the real deal doing good things for people. In this case, I recommend you pick it up and listen to what they have to say, and then make your own decision on whether you want to give or not.

What you said is very true BUT Salvation Army also rip people off...  Better to look for Christian benefits as they use the stuff to help people in need or the less fortunate people..  They are great :)

Remember,it cost money for research and it cost money to feed and bed the homeless and the clothsline program is not the cloth people,it is to try and make money from the house hold goods we donate so they can help off set the cost of research.The Sally Ann gives everything they make to the less fortunate and the things we donate to them have to also not only pay for running there store but also to turn a profit to help pay for the cost of there shelter.So people may think that the profits go into some ones pocket when in fact the money goes to help the ones in need.This number(905 5281112) is for real.It is hard these days to know who is legit and who is trying to reach deep in your pockets.Here's a clue.If they don't ask for money or card numbers or names or sin numbers and only ask that you leave the cloths outside with a big D on the bag I would say you are pretty safe.One way you can tell it's a scam on the internet is by looking at the grammer or the use of words and ask your self "is this the way I speak or my friends speak".If some one is calling you they may be new to your country but if they are sending you something on line then they should be from your country and if they are pros the paper work they send you should be correct.If not then it's more then likely a scam.

This is legit.It is the cloths line program.I have delt with them many times.

Have you ever been to the Salvation army lately? Just like all the other thrift stores they"re OVERPRICED for free donated items.

Robo calls with no one on the other end, up to 10 times a day, and the regulators don't seem to care.

This number is the Canadian Diabetes Clothesline pickup.  They are not telemarketers and NOT a scam.   I give to them regularly,

I'm done with the diabetes association. They keep calling and when I pick up the phone, no one answers me. It's dead silence. This is NOT helping their cause.

This number calls almost twice a week no one speaks and it is very irritating as this people call odd hours .

Please do your homework before you mislead people.
Yes, they are the Canadian Diabetes - Clothesline Program...
No they don't sell in the way you RICHARD are saying... IDIOT!
They bundle everything up onto a pallet.   Not just clothes... They also accept other donations.
They sell by WEIGHT, not by "Per Items".
Yes, they do pay their employees and do not have "Volunteers".
The Value Village has some "volunteers".  Again, NOT the Canadian Diabetes Association.
Because of this "System", they are able to get more items to help more people who are "down and out".
The reason "Value Village" keeps their prices low enough to make it affordable is because "Value Village" screws their employees, screws over volunteers and take advantage of people with sound syndrome or other forms of disabilities and make money off their labor.
The Canadian Diabetes - Clothesline Program is a good thing to have, but "Value Village" is the wrong business to associate with.
How do I know this?  My wife used to work for them for 10+years and got sick of what Value Village was doing.   Oh yeah, their benefits?  A 15% discount at value Village.  So 15% for buying garbage or "other man's treasures".

These guys (telemarketers) pretend to be a charity, but in fact are a big business making profits from your used clothing and items.  Everyone involved along the line from the person calling you, to the driver, to the store-front (Value Village) selling your used items makes money.  

Say your old jeans sell for $15, only $0.25 goes to charity.  Give to a true charity like the SALVATION ARMY - they only have volunteers and don't inflate prices for the needy.  

Value Village is a for-profit-organization from the USA.  The main owners are Tom Ellison, son of the founder Bill Ellison, and Freeman Spogli & Co. a private equity company.

If these morons could only just spend half their time researching and trying to help bring about the end of the purposely created addictive high fructose corn syrup/glucose/fructose/corn sugar etc. instead of being unending super annoying pests, the world would certainly be diabetes free and a lot more healthier and happier

No they are not suffering from cerebral palsy

they want your used clothes to re-sell to value village so they get the value of your old stuff.

Called and did not leave message! If this is a proper charity, then they would leave a message and not be so secretative about what they are calling about !!

Calling for the lady of the house, when asked who is calling, they hung up,on me. NOT impressed.

Called again and did not leave message

Called and did not leave message

if you donate to the Compassion Society in Burlington they donate the items to people in need, they don't charge for them!  that is why I deal with them and not the DIabetes or Salvation Army.

Got a call from this number today, didn't leave a voice mail. I already told them that I would call when I had something to donate, but they don't respect your wishes. So this number is now blocked using my new Call Blocker --> http://www.digitone.com/

Yes it is the Canadian Diabetes Assoc.  I have donated in the past as I do support the cause having diabetes myself.  However, after finding out the they take all the collections to Value Village which is not a non-profit org., I now take my donations to the Salvation Army Thrift Shop.  Your donations are helping to suport a retailer and only a small portion goes to CDA.

The callers are Asian telemarketers suffering from a cerebral palsy?

Pls dont call i know your # i see it on my phone 3 times a week if i donate i will call you, its truly getting to be  annoying.. also we use recycle pg.

Call me constantly. I'm never going to donate to any charity that harasses me by phone all the time. They even phoned me on a holiday! Of course they don't answer the phone when I phone back to tell them to take me off their list.
