NOTES:

We are not able to pick up items at this time.

Undergarments/shoes must be NEW

Mattresses/pillows must be part of a manufacturer's trial return program.

Apple products must be unlocked and reset for us to utilize them. For instruction, Click here


You are welcome to select items from the WishList and bring them by, or we have a great platform here that allows you to donate dollars that we will use to acquire the item(s) that can save you shopping, driving time, taxes, and fees.

In this fashion, we can leverage organizations to buy products in a higher volume with more precise sizing control, resulting in a much lower per-item cost and less waste, maximizing your donation dollars!

As we are very fiscally responsible, these dollars may be first spent on the items of greatest need.

Some vendors we work with are Good360, Betty Mills, Amazon Business, Webstaurant Store, Tech Soup, and others!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping keep our vulnerable youth safe and sheltered!
