Studies to address real-world concerns for people living with chronic diseases- UPDATE -
For all Kidney Marchers who were doing Kidney Clothes fundraisers:
Kidney Clothes in Calgary is finally opening POD's at reduced hours starting Tuesday July 7. They will accept donations at specific drop off locations (see below). Kidney Clothes will not be doing any residential pickups at this time and are not accepting any donations at the office.
POD staff will weigh the donations and send Kidney Clothes the weight and donor information. You only need to ensure you are clear with the POD worker that it is for Kidney March and provide the following information:
Your Name
Phone number
Kidney March Team name (If applicable)
Email address
The POD is an attended donation station ( a small trailer) where a staff member works and accepts donations. The POD staff will be social distancing so the donor will be asked to leave their items on the ground and the worker will collect them and weigh them. The donor can wait for the amount if they prefer.
The POD Hours & Locations:
• The hours will vary from 10 am - 1 pm and 11 am -2 pm Monday through Sunday.
- Sunridge POD - 2929 Sunridge Way NE (in the parking lot by Lowes).
- East Hills POD - 409 East Hills Blvd SE (SE of the Costco parking lot and Dollarama)
