A Note about donating new and gently used items
At The Living Room, our goal is to restore dignity and hope to women and their children who are experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, homelessness. Providing these women with clean, quality items supports this mission. Our clients have a wide range of needs, including comfortable clothing, hygiene products, blankets, shoes, and much more. Your care in selecting donations ensures that every participant feels valued and respected. Every thoughtful contribution makes an immediate impact.
Things We Accept
Clothing
New or gently used women’s and children’s clothing, all sizes. Clothes should be comfortable and easy to wash and wear.
Seasonal Needs
In the fall and winter, we need coats, sweaters, jackets, boots, umbrellas, gloves, and similar winter items. In the summer, we accept shorts, sundresses, sandals and other summer wear.
Shoes
New or very lightly worn women’s and children’s shoes, all sizes. Shoes should be comfortable for walking. Shoes are among our most requested, yet least donated, items and we always have a need.
Outdoor Shelter
New or gently used sleeping bags, tarps, hand warmers, umbrellas, blankets and backpacks.
Hygiene Products
To ensure safety, we only accept toiletries and hygiene products that are new and unopened. We always need travel size shampoo, conditioner, deodorant and mouthwash. Our Amazon Wishlist includes these items.
Undergarments
We accept NEW underwear, sports bras and socks for women and children in all sizes.
Things We Cannot Accept
Unclean, ripped, stained or heavily worn items. If in doubt, please launder before donating.
Furniture and Infant items
We do not have room to store bulky furniture, beds, major appliances and similar large items and can only accept them when we have an immediate need. Please send a photograph and description of these items to [email protected]
and we’ll let you know if we can accept your donation. We cannot accept used car seats or bouncers at any time.
