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, not on hangers.

2. Wrap Breakables

Wrapping household items prevents the goods from being broken.

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.
