Donate Household Items

DONATION DROP OFF: Due to construction of our new building the donation drop off point is no longer at the warehouse dock. You will now drop off in the Hope Chest Store parking lot at 36 N. Lincoln Avenue. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Interested in donating to Wayside? We gratefully accept the following:

• Clean, usable clothing for men, women and children
• Working appliances
• Used furniture in good repair
• Household goods
• Antiques and collectibles

Donating items to Wayside helps us in many ways:

• Through Hope Chest - Wayside’s resale store, affordable household items are made available to our low-income neighbors
• Through Hope Outreach Ministries - Wayside is able to distribute needed items to those in our community who struggle financially
• Through the Master's Touch Work Program, residents are provided with work training and experience
• Income generated helps to run the six Divisions of Wayside Cross Ministries
