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.
