constructing bridging connecting opportunities through giving and receiving 

What we do

Donation Station connects community members who have resources with those who need them. We make direct giver-to-receiver connections for immediate access, and we follow through with consistent service and acknowledgments for every donation

Most needed this month

• New socks and undergarments

• Winter coats and boots (adult M–XXL, kids all sizes)

• Hygiene kits: toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, deodorant, pads and tampons

• Blankets and bedding (twin and full)

• Pots and pans, microwaves, coffee makers

How it works

1. Donate items
   
   Bring or schedule a pickup for quality items. We sort and prepare them for distribution.
   
   

2. Match and distribute
   
   We connect donations to people who need them through our markets, pop-ups, and partner sites.
   
   

3. Acknowledge and learn
   
   We record every donation and share acknowledgments that build trust and transparency.
   
   

It's our impactful decision making that routes every donation, request, volunteer offer, and partner inquiry to the next best step.

Core flow: Intake → Classify → Match → Schedule → Acknowledge → Learn

Why it matters: faster matches, clear expectations, and dignity at every step.
