DONATIONS

Thank you for your generous donations to support our mission of helping women leave a life of sex trafficking. We need your gently-used or like-new items of home goods, furniture, clothing, toys, etc.

The following guidance enables us be good stewards of our resources and maximizes the value of your donated items.

Donations are accepted inside our stores from 12 Noon-5 PM on Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Saturday. We will not accept donations on Wednesdays starting January 1, 2022 so that we can keep our store in order and safe for our customers.

We are a small non-profit organization staffed mostly by volunteers and we have limited space to process donations. Our trash expenses are reduced when you only donate items that customers want to purchase. Please do not donate clothing that has stains, rips or pilling as well as household items that are dirty or damaged. The following offers specific information about items we can and cannot accept. When we receive donations that are unsellable, it diverts effort and funds from our mission.

We are very grateful for your understanding and support of our mission! For furniture donations, please call the store ahead of time so we know when to expect you and so we can prepare space for your items.
