We recognize that donating clothing and household items is not only a way to help us, but also a convenient way for donors to support their communities. That’s why we ask all potential donors out there to simply follow a few easy rules when dropping off their donations.
General Rules
- All items must be placed in a bag, or box
- Do not donate loose items as they can and will be ruined and also pose a safety hazard.
- Items cannot be soiled, torn or unsafe
