FOOD DONATIONS We accept all non-perishable food items in unopened containers. The great thing about direct food donations is that they are available for direct distribution to our clients. We are always running short on the following items: Jello Gelatin, Pudding, French-style Green Beans and other canned vegetables, Regular & Instant Rice, Saltine Crackers, Coffee and Juice.

NON-FOOD GOODS We are ALWAYS in need of non-food items and personal hygiene products such as paper towels, toilet paper, feminine products, laundry detergent, dish soap, shampoo, deodorant, Kleenex, etc. We cannot purchase these items at deep discounts through Second Harvest so we depend solely on donations for distribution to our clients.
CLOTHING & HOUSEHOLD GOODS We glady accept gently used clothing that is washed and 'in-style'. We do not have storage space so we can only accept clothing when it is in season (e.g. coats-sweaters in winter). Because of the storage issue, we can accept some furniture, but if you let us know about household furniture that you have available, we can make matches to our clients for direct delivery to their home. Please contact us for more information.
