Community Giving That Makes a Difference

Your donations provide free necessities to families and individuals facing financial instability. We rely on the generosity of our community to keep inventory stocked.

Drop-Off Times

Mondays & Fridays, 9:00—11:30 AM*

*We regret that, due to staffing limitations, donations left outside these hours cannot be accepted and will be disposed of.

What We Look For:

Like-new or New Items: Clean, unstained, without rips or tears, in working order, in style and in season.
Properly Packaged: Place items in labeled boxes or clear bags that are not overly heavy to make sorting easier for our volunteers.

What We Accept

Furniture & Appliances: Kitchen tables & chairs, clean mattresses (twin, full, queen, king), bunk beds, sofas, end tables, lamps, small kitchen appliances. *
* Text Harry at (262) 899-2761 before any furniture drop-offs. Harry must approve all furniture donations!

Books & Toys: Children’s and adult books, DVDs, clean toys, complete puzzles and games.

In some cases, LCC is not able to use items that are donated. When that happens, LCC often passes those items on to other nonprofits to either use for their own clients or sell to support their operations. LCC also sells donated items from time to time to raise money to support its own operations.
