What We Gratefully Accept

All clothing must be clean, dry, and in good, wearable condition—free of stains, tears, or odors. All fasteners (zippers, buttons) should be functional.

Good Condition

No tears, holes, frayed seams, excessive pilling, or heavy fading. Suitable for men, women, and children.

Ready for Immediate Use

Items should require no repair or cleaning—ready to wear, as a gesture of dignity and respect.

Items We Cannot Accept

Undergarments

For hygiene and dignity, we do not accept used undergarments (including innerwear, bras, or socks).

Damaged or Stained Items

No permanent stains, rips/tears, heavy wear, missing buttons, or non-functional zippers.

Household Goods

We only handle clothing. Please do not donate blankets, towels, curtains, bed linens, or pillows.

Specialty Items

We cannot accept wedding dresses, formal gowns, or costumes. We focus on practical, everyday wear.

Miscellaneous Items

No toys, books, furniture, appliances, or open toiletries. Our storage/resources are optimized for clothing only.

Important Donation Tips

Sort if Possible

Sorting by type (men’s, women’s, children’s) or bagging by size helps our volunteers move donations faster.

No Names or Messages

Please ensure no names or personal messages are written on items—this preserves recipient dignity and anonymity.

Your commitment to these guidelines is a gift. By ensuring your donations meet our standards, you help us serve our community with respect and quality. Thank you for helping us spread dignity—one garment at a time.
