Please be advised that unless otherwise stated or requested, we do not accept used toys, linens, furniture or clothing items. 
 
If you wish to donate items not posted on our website (Holiday giving, adopting a family, etc.), please contact our office before shopping.  To ensure that each family receives sponsorship for the Holidays, we will provide a list of the families in need.  The list will include:  age, gender, clothing size, etc. of each family member.
