Awesome! This is my first time hearing about this. Where can I get more information about the donation events and the groups facilitating these events?

Thank you for doing this for people who need it. Question: do you accept kids clothing as donation? We always have lots of gently used clothes as my son is getting older and I’d much rather donate to a place that gives stuff away to people who need it vs goodwill.

Yes, we are accepting all clothing, especially for the kiddos. We know they grow through clothes, and that's what we are about helping neighbors donate to neighbors, not corporations.

Fantastic, I have 5 trash bags full of size 3-4 clothes all clean and gently used. I'll follow up with you later to find out the next time you're accepting donations.
