Items We Cannot Accept

It's hard to say no to a donation, however, we have partnered with other community resources to connect donors with an agency that can best use these items we can't take. Please view our list, and consider donating them to another community resource listed.

Used/Opened Car Seats: Safety issues with recalls and liability insurance requirements.

Queen or King-Size Bedding: We only have twin-size mattresses at the shelter. Please consider taking to Charitable Union.

Clothing, Shoes, Purses, etc: Due to lack of storage space. Please consider taking to Charitable Union.

Expired Food: We don't cook for residents, so we can't check for safety/quality on unopened foods after best by date.

Space Heaters: Due to safety issues. Please consider taking to Charitable Union.
