When you donate you touch hearts!

ACTS is committed to the men, women and children that we serve. Various jobs of operating this facility are accomplished by volunteers who are committed to carrying out our Mission Statement with comradery and mutual respect. Each one brings a variety of skills useful in the specifics of working in a retail arena. Without your generous donations, we would not be able to serve as we do.

Donation Hours:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT DONATIONS!

Donations received Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
No donations will be accepted on Fridays in order to give our volunteers time to sort and process our inventory.

Please, do not leave donations by the gate near the road. There will be no one to receive them and they will get ruined.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Donation Guidelines

Help us save on high waste management costs by presorting your donations. Ask yourself these questions about the item:

1. Would I buy it as it is?

2. Would I want it if someone gave it to me?

3. Is it stained, ripped, misshapen, moldy, or broken?

4. Does it smell?

If you would not buy it or want it, or it is damaged or smells, then it should be disposed of by you and not donated to us.

Thanks for helping in this way. You’re awesome!

Please Note:

We understand that our donation days and times are limited.

What can be done?

1. Volunteer to help! Can’t emphasize this enough. The need is great. You can submit an application right here online!

2. Check our Facebook or website for times and days to bring donations before just showing up with them and encourage others to do the same. You can even call the store to double check before you load up to come.

3. Please don’t expect Suzzi to make exceptions if you show up after 1:00 or on a Friday when we do not receive donations. Word gets around if she does that, and then our volunteers must stay later after having worked really hard for 5 straight hours. Or worse, Suzzi ends up having to take care of it all by herself. There’s only one of her, and we really love her and want to respect her time and strength.

4. Choose kindness every time. Our volunteers and Suzzi are working in the heat and humidity in summer and frigid cold in winter to receive, sort, price, and haul the merchandise around. Please, please, please be kind to them.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation. We are endeavoring to do a good thing for our community, but it takes all of us working together with respect and kindness to succeed.
