As our needs grow more every day, each dollar given or dollar saved goes a long way to providing important mental health, mental retardation and homeless shelter services. 
Because of staffing restrictions, we are typically unable to pick up donations. However, depending on the urgency, there are situations where caseworkers may be able to assist with pick-up. Feel free to inquire.
