What items can you not accept?
It's hard to say "no thank you" to a donation when those donations help to fund Interfaith programs. However, we do need to refuse some items for being non-recyclable or containing hazardous materials. Other times, the item must be refused because it costs more to repair or refurbish than it can be sold for in our store. Our team members are trained to know what we can and cannot accept, and will help guide you to other possibilities for donations we cannot use.
