Donations
Thank YOU for saying “YES” to help our ministry with your gifts.
Our ministry's purpose is to bridge the gap between those who have beautiful items to give and find those who are in need. All items are free to the guests. In preparing your items at home, please know they may immediately go to those in need.
Thank you for supporting Heaven Helpers Closet (701)! Your donations make a big difference in our community. To make the process as smooth as possible, please follow these guidelines when donating your clothing items:
-
Please don't dump your items outside our building.
-
We appreciate freshly laundered items, as not all our guests have access to a washer and dryer. Please make sure your donations are clean, wrinkle-free, and smell good.
-
Check our clothing list to see what items we accept and don't accept.
-
Bring your items in a laundry basket, tub, or clean box. We don't recommend using bags as items may get wrinkled. If clothes are wrinkled, allow extra time to help steam them.
-
Please only bring items in good condition. If something needs minor repairs, our volunteers can take care of it.
We accept donations Monday to Thursday, from 9 am to 1pm. To schedule an appointment or ask any questions, please call us at 701-751-1468 or email us at closet701@hotmail.com.
We offer three different ways to donate your clothing items, depending on your preferences:
Donation Option #1:
If you'd like to come in person with your clean clothing, please call us to schedule an appointment. We ask that you help us hang all your items with our 701 hangers. You can do this either at the closet or check out a "Hanger Kit" and do it at home before your appointment. At home hanger kit requires a refundable deposit. When you arrive, we'll assign you a station where you can process your items with the help of a volunteer. If your items have wrinkles, please allow extra time for steaming. Your generous donations and your time are essential to our ministry. Thank you for considering us!
Donation Option #2:
Our $20 donation basket program is a great option if you're unable to stay and help us hang and label your gifts. For each basket filled, we ask for a $20 donation. No appointment is needed. This option allows those who need to drop off clothing to be part of our ministry with their gifts of clean clothing and a monetary donation. This donation helps us raise funds to continue serving the 701 community. You can drop off your items Monday to Thursday, from 9 am to 1 pm, at the back door of the Closet. If these times don't work for you, please call us, and we'll find a time that does. If you have a large amount of items to donate, please let us know when you're coming so we can be ready.
Donation Option #3:
If all your items are new and still have tags on them, you can drop them off without an appointment Monday to Thursday, from 9 am to 1 pm. If you have a large amount of items, please call us and let us know when you're coming. This helps us be prepared for your gifts.
Thank you again for your support!
