Donations

Guidelines for donations

Our mission is to provide clean, decent and affordable clothing, household goods and many other items for residents of our community.  Please help us honor our mission and be respectful of those we serve by donating clothing, outerwear, accessories and household items that are in excellent condition and immediately wearable or useable. We accept quality items from housecleaning, rummage sales (no tags or pricing) or when moving or clearing estates. Monetary donations are welcomed, too. Cash donations and sales of items in La Boutique provide the funds to pay the overhead so we can continue our mission of providing clothing in our General Store at 10 cents to $2.00.
