it depends on what you are thinking of donating. The donations are going to primarily food pantries in the area, so no perishable food items are accepted, nor are furniture/housewares or clothing. If you have a specific item to donate that isn't on the list, let me know what it is and I can ask whether it would be accepted.
Thanks for your generosity. You might also consider donating something that is not a food item, personal care/household or pet item or school supply to the "Take It Or Leave It" (TIOLI) room in the basement of Clarke for others on campus to be able to reuse. |
