We accept donations of new and gently used clothing in all sizes. Clothing should be in clean, wearable condition ready for immediate distribution, free of rips, stains and tears. We prefer donations to be seasonally appropriate.

 

We appreciate donations of new socks, and new underwear in all sizes (toddler through teen) and new hats and gloves (particularly in toddler and youth sizes).

Directions

The Sharing Shelf is on the left side of Purdy Avenue, just past Townsend. Look for a blue sign with multiple business names. Turn left into our driveway and come up the hill. Bear right into the parking lot.

 

For clothing drop-off, look for the large sign "Clothing Drop-Off" and the open loading dock door.  All clothing, coat, and shoe donations must be in closed plastic bags no larger than a kitchen garbage bag. Place your donations directly in the blue carts. We have a no contact system that allows you to safely bring your clothing on your scheduled date.
