Donate Items During COVID-19

Are you wondering which organizations you can still donate items to, in light of COVID-19?

Many in-kind donation collections have ceased operation during COVID-19, but not all! There are particular items that have seen an increase in demand, since the onset of this pandemic.

We recommend checking a particular organization’s website or calling them before you purchase an item, or leave to drop off your donation. They will be able to tell you what their greatest item of need is, what items they continue to collect during COVID-19, and their new donation procedures.
