Not Accepting

We are grateful for all donations, but at this time, we are unable to accept used clothing or donations of hats, gloves, socks, and mittens. Due to the generous volume of donations we’ve received, we currently lack the space to accept additional items.

Other donations we are not currently accepting are:

Travel-sized shampoo and conditioner (Full-sized is better!)

Furniture (mattresses/couches)

Used/expired hygiene products
