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:

Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday: 11am-2pm
