Organize a Drive

TURNING HIGH HEELS INTO HEATING FUELWe are always looking for donations of: gently used clothing and linens, sheets, pillowcases, and bedspreads with no rips or stains; household items and knickknacks; books, records, and tapes that are in good condition; and working appliances (please no computer equipment, TV's, cribs, mattresses or box springs).

Get your friends and family to join you in giving!

Start a volunteer drive at your school, church, or office — it’s a great way to maximize your impact and helps everyone out. Drives that revolve around a theme or particular need are most successful. Some ideas for drives include:

  • Summer clothes
  • Winter coats & jackets
  • Kitchen utensils & furnishings
  • Bedding sets
  • Baby items
  • Christmas décor and gifts
