Thank you for your desire to donate to our organization!
Please read all information below before bringing your donations. We greatly appreciate your assistance in following
these guidelines to assist in expediting our ability to get items to our friends who are experiencing homelessness!
Financial donations: www.pourhouse.org/invest.php
Logistics:
Please deliver clothing items in trash bags or plastic bags. Please do not deliver in boxes, as we do not have the ability to dispose of
large amounts of cardboard (hygiene may be in boxes if needed). If you are able to sort into “like” items and label, this is very helpful
and enables us to just pick up a bag and distribute without the need to pre-sort and repackage. Please do not bring dirty items or items
covered in pet hair, including dog blankets. Please only bring items you would still be willing to use or wear.
