My sister and I live in Sarasota. This year we bought a new artificial Christmas tree. Our previous one is large, about a 7-foot tree, with light flocking and pine cones. We would like to donate it to a family who might not otherwise have one. We will provide lights, ornaments, and materials (and some instructions) for the family to be able to make some decorations on their own (popcorn & cranberry strings, paper chains, etc.). In addition, we would like to provide this family with gift cards for Publix and WalMart to enable them to buy their own Christmas gifts and dinner. If your organization has such a family that we could help, please let us know and give us details on how to proceed. Please contact me by email. Thank you.

I have bars of soap, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion from hotels while we were on many road trips. I also have many beanie babies. I am trying to find a place to donate these items. Could your facility use them? If not I will contact the homeless coalition.

I have multiple household items like towels, sheets, pillows, mini blinds, etc that Goodwill will not take. My daughter suggested I inquire if a woman’s shelter could use these items. Can you direct me what options I might have? Would love to have someone use these items. Thank you.

I recently moved to Sarasota and have bags of nice clothes (work and casual), shoes, boots, home accessories and I wanted to know if you accept these kinds of things. If so please tell me when I can deliver them. God bless you for what you do.

Hi I belonged to a quarterly beauty product membership and I have unopened products (soaps, lotions, etc.) that I would love to donate to your shelter if you accept them. The products are not old or expired but are things I don't use. Could you let me know what types of items are acceptable to your shelter and how I go about donating them?
