Donations Accepted Fridays & Saturdays
We are still accepting clothing donations on Fridays and Saturdays only between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm. We are in need of the basic wardrobe staples (shorts, pants, tops, shoes, etc.). We still cannot accept "extras" at this time.
|
|
To donate, gather your clean and ready-to-wear items. Check our updated Donation Guidelines for ideas. Please sort items by category (girls, boys, young women, young men and shoes) to save time at drop-off. Empty your donations into one of our rolling bins that will be located outside of our door. Please take your bags with you to reuse.

While you are there, be sure to take peek at our new and improved Donation Center (pictured above) with hanging storage by The Container Store Cherry Creek and lights donated by RK.
Thank you to our hard-working volunteers and program staff for making this dream a reality!
