Donation Tips
1. Keep it Organized
Putting like-items together makes the sorting process faster and easier. Please have all clothing in bags or boxes, noton hangers.
2. Wrap Breakables
Wrapping household items prevents the goods from being broken.
3. Where To Go
When you pull into our parking lot head to the garage to the left of the trash bin. Bring donations into the garage and put on the table, on the ground, or in the white bins.

Donate Your Time as a Volunteer
Many hands make light lifting.
There are several volunteer openings for you at Ruth’s House. We can use you in the warehouse receiving goods, sorting and pricing goods, cleaning the store, and more.
