Small, practical choices can have a wider reach than we often realize. At Oh là là Scrubs, we think carefully about where our products come from — and where they can go next.
Our Scrub Trade-In program grew out of that thinking, offering a way to reuse and recirculate workwear through donation.
How the Trade-in Works?
The Scrub Trade-In program is designed to be simple. When you visit us in store, bring clean, gently used scrubs — including scrub tops, pants, jackets, or lab coats. As a thank-you for donating, you’ll receive 10% off your purchase that day.
The offer applies to regular-priced items only, is available in store, and cannot be combined with other discounts. The program is available for a limited period.
Where Donated Scrubs Go?
To ensure donated scrubs reach the right places, we partner with Not Just Tourists, a Canadian nonprofit organization that delivers medical supplies directly to healthcare workers in communities where access is limited. Through established networks, donated items are carefully packed, transported, and distributed to clinics and hospitals around the world.
This map highlights the global reach of their work and the many healthcare communities supported through donated medical supplies. Through this partnership, scrubs collected at our Ottawa store become part of a broader, coordinated effort to support healthcare work beyond a single setting.
Why this Approach Matters?
The Scrub Trade-In program is built around a simple principle: making it easier to support healthcare communities in need. By integrating donation into a regular store visit, it offers a straightforward way to contribute — without extra planning or complicated steps.
When you choose to donate through this program, your scrubs contribute to a larger effort led by organizations already delivering medical supplies on the ground. It’s an opportunity to take a familiar action and know it’s supporting healthcare work in places where resources are limited.
A Thoughtful Option, When it Makes Sense
This program is designed to fit naturally into everyday routines. There’s no pressure to participate — simply an option available when the timing feels right.
If you’re based in Ottawa and have questions about what can be donated or how the program works, our team is always happy to help in store.
Thank you for supporting a more thoughtful approach to workwear.
