Donation Pick-Up Policy
 
For many years, we have picked up donations from residential areas. Regrettably, due to rising costs, the Mission can no longer afford to offer this service. As you know, we do NOT sell your donations in a thrift store. We GIVE all your donations away!
 
We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause, but we hope you will appreciate our ongoing effort to exercise “good stewardship” of your gifts to help the needy in our community.
 
Please drop off your donations of gently used clothing and household goods at our Caring Center, located at 156 N. Plymouth Ave., Monday through Friday 8:00am - 7:00pm, Saturdays & Sundays 9:00am - 5:00pm. Pick ups may still be considered on a case-by case basis. Please call (585) 454-6696 for more information.

PLEASE NOTE...
In compliance with new federal regulations for 2009, and the increased risk of hazardous lead content in children's toys, the Open Door Mission will no longer accept any donations of USED children's toys or stuffed animals.
