Donations                                                                       

We consider our ministry as much a service to our donors as it is to the families who receive their donations.  We enable you to minister to your community through us, and your generous donations make all this possible.

 

Our volunteers will:

v     try to meet your deadline

v     see that your donations go directly to families in need, usually within 1-2 weeks

v     move items from inside your home – even up or down stairs

v     help the elderly with downsizing

v     take used beds and mattresses as long as they are not soiled

 

* We recognize a special ministry in assisting families in disposing of items in the residences of deceased family members.  Please recommend us to friends and neighbors in need of this service.

 

We take:

v     Clean and usable furniture items

v     If we are already coming for larger items, we will also take small household items such as:

Linens, kitchenware, small appliances, vacuum cleaners, lamps

 

We do not take:    (See below for alternate donation options)

v     Soiled, Ripped or Broken Furniture – We have no facility for cleaning and repair.

v     Large Appliances – Most of our clients live in subsidized apartments.

v     Sofa Beds – Unfortunately a liability for our volunteers

v     Clothes, Toys or Books
