FAQ
What items do you typically need?
We serve homeless men, so all clothing is men’s clothing. Typically our need is for Gently used or new:
- casual clothes - work clothes - jeans - shoes.
- New socks and underwear only, please.
Do you care what sizes they are?
While we, ourselves are not picky, we see the tendency for men to select loose-fitting or larger sized clothing, even if they are of a smaller build. So we do have the need for the larger sizes than the smaller.
What kinds of personal care items do you need?
Shaving cream, razors, deodorant, toothpaste and tooth brushes, shampoo and soap
Can we pick one item?
If we coordinate items, then yes. While we do have a list of needs which helps us logistically, if your group is set on a certain item, let’s talk and coordinate. We can work it out!
Is there a certain number of items we must collect?
Preferably more than 1! But seriously, we don’t have a set number. We appreciate all contributions. And we base our requests on the items we use the most, so we can never have too much. Anything extra will simply help us offset the need to buy in the future, freeing up our budget for other service needs.
Do you need these things only certain time of the year?
We need items year round. We operate every day, all year, and our guests change frequently throughout the year, so the need is constant.
Can you pick the items up?
Unfortunately, the House keeps us busy enough that it is hard for us to leave. We know you are busy, too, so you can bring the items anytime (we are open 24/7!) and drop them off .....or we are happy to share a cup of Joe with you if have the time. Either way, we will always help you to unload!
Can we get items donated in bulk from a store?
Yes siree! If you have a connection, that is great. We are happy to provide a donation receipt to any organization that donates to the House should they ask you for one.
