📣Your donations make a difference!

However, a friendly reminder on oversized items: Because our indoor space is limited and we don’t have the means to take or pay for items to go to the dump, anything larger than a breadbox, is generally not accepted.

🚨These chairs are an example. They were dropped off when our team wasn’t there, so we didn’t have the chance to see if there was room.

Unfortunately, there isn’t.

We now have four office chairs that we can’t home at the resource center. If you need one or all, please come and grab them.

For all future donations, we kindly ask you:

• Drop off during business hours only.
• Please check in with us before unloading items. If we don't have the space, we'll do our best to help you find another local resource that can take them!

Thank you all for working with us to keep our donation corner organized for everyone!
