Yes! Our process ensures that donated goods never go to waste. All new and gently used donations are important to SafeNest and are processed through our SafeNest Donation Center. Used items like clothing, shoes, and small appliances that are in excellent to good condition are inventoried for clients, including shelter guests.
Any donated used items that cannot be utilized by our shelter residents and/or be stored at the warehouse (due to limited space, our maximum inventory capacity is three months) are sold to our community-partner, Savers Thrift Store. The compensation received by SafeNest from Savers is used to fund important operational expenses at shelter (food, utilities, maintenance) and emergency/critical client needs such as burner phones, bus passes, emergency gift cards, rental assistance, etc.
