IN-KIND DONATIONS: We also accept donations to help furnish apartments and provide basic needs and clothing for newly arriving families and others in need. When planning a donation drop off, please call ahead so that we have staff available to assist you.

IN-KIND DONATION FORM: Before you bring your donations, please fill out this in kind donation form. You may add in the value of each item to help complete your taxes. Please bring two copies of the form, so that we can sign one for you and keep one copy for our records.

CLOTHING AND BASIC HOUSEHOLD ITEMS: These small items are accepted in small quantities in our Suite 100 office at the reception desk from 8-11am. on Mondays and 1-3pm Wednesdays. Please fill out the donation form above to save time when you come by. You may also donate gently used adult clothing to Finders Keepers Consignment and ask them to put it on our account so that the organization benefits from sales. You may do the same with children’s clothing through Jack and Jill. We do not accept used toys.

• Dining tables and chairs
• Sofa/couches (NOT sofa beds or futons)
• Dressers
• Coffee/end tables

If you have these items to donate, please email photos of the items to John Arnold at j.arnold@newamericanpathways.org along with your address.  John will evaluate whether or not we can use the items and will contact you to schedule a drop-off or pick-up.  Please note that we offer pick-up service within a 10-mile radius.  We do not accept mattresses, box springs, frames, office furniture, or appliances.
