Cash donations are the most convenient means of donating since I am traveling from city to city around America and can only travel with so much clothing and materials. The most convenient ways to meet people’s needs are: buying what people need as I travel or receiving donated materials in the cities that I am working in. Accumulating too much supplies can be a hindrance.

If you want to donate clothing directly:

Most clothing donations need to be brand new, obviously underwear. Other clothes needs to be washed. The clothes that are needed are men’s boxer briefs sizes medium, large, extra large, 2XL, 3XL and anything larger; women’s underwear sizes 5-13 (preferably just odd number sizes for storage reasons); and closed toe orthopedic shoes that are made by BraceAbility (braceability.com), sizes medium, large, and extra large (large and extra large are more commonly used than size medium).

I also acept shoe donations. The shoes, like all clothing, need to be new. I take adult sizes only, men’s sizes 7-16 and women’s sizes 6-11. For men, sizes 9-12 are the most common sizes I give out; for women, sizes 6-9 are the most common sizes I give out; so these sizes would be the most helpful. I typically buy shoes from Ross Dress for Less and Burlington (Burlington Coat Factory) and search for the best well made shoes I can find at a discount. Shoes are almost always at a good discount there for the quality I find. I would recommend doing the same. If you happen to work for a shoe manufacturing company and would like to donate shoes, feel free to get in touch.

I also accept socks for adults.

I accept the medicine Narcan (an overdose reviving medication). Cortizone or medicines like Cortizone are accepted (over-the-counter medication for psoriasis or eczema-like symptoms). If you ever are inclined to donate Narcan, I encourage you to find a place that gives them out for free, otherwise they can be extremely expensive (over $100 per dose).

Winter coats for men and women are accepted for the winter.
