Donate Items to Our
Full Circle Program
Giving with purpose. Receiving with dignity.
WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING FALL/WINTER
CLOTHING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. ONLY
SPRING AND SUMMER WEAR ACCEPTED NOW.
Every Donation has a Purpose
Helping Survivors with a Fresh Start.
Abuse Hurts supports individuals escaping violence by providing essential items to help them rebuild. In 2020 alone, we supported over 8,000 people and distributed 26,000 items like clothing, linens, and small appliances.
When we receive more than we can give directly, surplus donations are sold in our storefront. The proceeds help us purchase urgently needed items we don’t have on hand—so nothing goes to waste, and everything goes toward hope.
Who Can Donate?
Everyone! If you have high-quality items you no longer need, we’ll ensure they find a second life where they are genuinely needed.
Donation Process
A little planning goes a long way.
A little planning goes a long way. To keep our team and warehouse safe, donation drop-offs are by appointment only. Donated items are accepted on Mondays and Wednesdays between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm (30-minute time slots). The items should be:
- Packed in small to medium clear garbage bags.
- Label the bags clearly “DONATE”
