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 open flag!

For Pick-ups:
Due to volunteer and staff limitations, we are very limited in our ability to pick-up items.
If you need items picked-up, a time may be arranged with our staff depending on availability and distance. Pictures are required before pick-up and a donation of gas cards are greatly appreciated ($40 or more is recommended per trip). Please note, if the contact deems your items do not follow our guidelines, they will not be able to take them.
