Used Clothing Drop-Off Shed
Help us keep your donation clean and dry by putting the items in plastic bags.
Items Accepted:
All clothing, shoes, sneakers, belts, purses, blankets, sheets, pillowcases, drapes and stuffed toys. Your donation will not be cut up or shredded.
Please… no rags, fabric scraps, non-stuffed toys or household goods – these items are a hardship and expensive to dispose of.
