Resource Center Donations
The His House Resource Center provides individuals and families with free food, clothing, personal items, household goods, toys, books and more. In addition to our drop-in shoppers, we use these items to assist our clients moving from homelessness into their new homes! These items are 99% donated by individuals and organizations.
Open Hours:
Monday & Friday:
11am-4pm
Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday: 11am-2pm
Due to primary staffing by volunteers, hours may change based on availability.
Look for the His House Foundation sign!
