Who's Rick?
Rick Diamond runs Diamond Delivery, a transport company he built out of Surrey, BC. He also runs his own foundation — Rick's Heart — and is the primary benefactor of the Korle-Bu Neuroscience Foundation. Rick's Thrift is his idea: a shop that keeps the good work going long after he's done.
He loves a practical joke. He loves a free buffet. He has been known to wander into conferences he was not invited to, looking confident, plate in hand. He drives a pink fire engine to events because of course he does.
"Howdy — you've reached Big Ball's Rick. Leave a message after the beep, partner."
Where your dollars go
100% of net proceeds from Rick's Thrift go to the work below. Buy a lamp, fund a surgery. It's a weird equation that somehow checks out.
The Rick's Heart Foundation outreach van rolls into Surrey neighbourhoods reaching people impacted by poverty, addiction, and personal crises. Hot meals, supplies, a shoulder, and a ride to recovery resources.
Personal music playlists, instruments, and outdoor music equipment for isolated seniors in care. Across Canada, the program has reached over 262 care home facilities — turning quiet rooms back into living ones.
KBNF builds neuroscience care in West Africa — partnering with national governments to develop fully equipped, staffed, self-sustaining hospitals and surgical programs. Ghana has 25 neurosurgeons for 33 million people. KBNF is closing that gap.
Donate clothes & small goods
Gently used clothing, shoes, linens, bags. If it's in a shape you'd hand to a friend, it's good. Bins are checked regularly — but please don't leave items outside the bin.

Don't try to fit a couch in a clothing bin. Call Rick directly for pickup — 604-908-9787 — or fill out the estate-donations form below and we'll come to you.
Estate & large donations
When a parent passes, or a family downsizes, you don't need a sales pitch — you need someone to show up with a truck and good manners. We do that.
We accept estate donations, furniture, retail overstock, business inventory, and odd-but-good things. Tax receipts available for qualifying donations.
Prefer to talk? Call Rick at 604-908-9787 or the shop at 236-325-2209.
Volunteer with us
The shop runs on volunteers — folks who price tag, fold, greet, drive, or just keep the kettle on. Couple of hours a week is plenty. Bring a friend, or come make some.
Sorting donations, tagging, merchandising, working the till, greeting customers. Mornings and weekends are biggest needs.
Help us pick up estate donations and load the truck. Heavier lifting, lighter shifts. We feed you after.
Graphic design, social media, accounting, photography, repair-it-yourself wizardry — if you've got it, we have a use for it.
