Plan a donation or community drive
Useful donations start with a confirmed need. Before collecting goods or arranging a delivery, tell our team what you would like to contribute.
Items to discuss with our team
- New or gently used clothing, shoes, coats, children’s clothing and workwear.
- Household essentials and move-in items for people transitioning toward stable housing.
- Hygiene items or school supplies for a specific, confirmed community drive.
This is a starting point for an inquiry, not a guarantee that every item can be accepted. Space, condition, transport and current program needs affect what can be coordinated.
Prepare your donation inquiry
- List the types, sizes, quantities and condition of the items.
- Provide a general collection location and any timing constraints.
- Ask which items are currently needed and whether collection or drop-off can be arranged.
- Wait for confirmation before moving goods or advertising a collection location.
Organize a community drive
Employers, schools, faith groups and community organizations can discuss a drive or distribution partnership. Agree on the recipient need, accepted items, collection dates, storage, transport and responsible contacts before announcing it.
A practical drive checklist
- A needs list confirmed by the receiving program.
- Clear item-condition and packing instructions.
- An accessible, approved collection location and schedule.
- A volunteer coordinator and a transport plan.
- A simple count of goods collected and delivered, without publishing recipient information.
Volunteer or request support
Use the intake form to discuss volunteering or request clothing, essentials or community-resource support. Availability and service area must be confirmed. Housing-transition support does not guarantee housing placement.
Questions before you donate
Ask the team about current capacity, service area and documentation before proceeding. This website does not represent donations as tax-deductible.
