Food
We can accept all store-bought food items, including refrigerated and frozen items, as long as they are unopened and not expired. We cannot accept most homemade items (except for garden-grown produce which is always most welcome).
Clothes
We accept new and used clothing and coats in excellent condition. We cannot accept anything with rips, stains, broken zippers, or names inside the label, anything without a size listed, anything smelling musty, or anything with animal fur. Pajamas, undergarments, bathing suits, hats, socks, and shoes must be new.
Toys
All toys and books must also be new as they are only given out as gifts.
Household Goods
We accept a variety of new housewares for those served by our emergency program.
Furniture
We cannot accept furniture because we do not have room to store them on site. We suggest listing them on our furniture network.
