What We Accept & Don't
Ask yourself: "Would I give this to my best friend?"
We accept gently used items. They must be clean, fully functional and in great condition: No stains, rips, odors or pet hairs.
​
Unsure of what we accept? E-mail us a picture and we will will guide you through the process.
​
We have the right to refuse items that don't meet our quality standards.
-
Small item donations can be dropped off during our open hours, which are Monday through Wednesday from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. and Tuesday through Thursday from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
-
For large furniture donations, such as couches, dressers, tables, mattresses, etc., please e-mail us with pictures and dimensions of each item to ensure they meet our standards, current needs, and warehouse capacity.
-
If you have no way of transporting large items we will work with you to arrange a pick-up time. (La Crosse, Onalaska and the city of La Crescent) We have a stellar group of volunteers who deliver the large items to our clients on Tuesday and Thursday mornings 8:30-10:30 and we will work with you to fit your large pick-up items within that schedule as best we can.
-
The suggested minimum donation for this service is $25-$50. We do not sell or profit from your donations. Your monetary donation allows us to re-home and deliver your items at no cost to community members in need without vehicles.
-
If possible, please have your items in an easily accessible area such as the garage or main floor entrance away from stairs and tight turns.
