In-Kind Donations

Many of the Center’s programs benefit from generous in-kind donations each year. We accept donations of:

Men’s, Women’s, and Children’s Clothing

The Clothing program provides families and individuals with seasonally appropriate clothing, year round. We welcome lightly worn, clean or new clothing for the whole family, and every size. In addition, the Attire 4 Hire clothing program is in need of men’s business attire, undergarments, dress shoes etc. (Any woman’s business attire is sent to our partners at Suited to Succeed).
