Your Donations Are Important to Us!
As our needs grow more every day, each dollar given or dollar saved goes a long way to providing important 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. W accept new or used items in good condition.
Items which are not distributed to Bell’s service recipients in a reasonable amount of time may be given to other area non-profits for distribution or sold through our affiliate, Re-Source York, with the proceeds benefiting Bell’s programs.
