Donate Furniture and Clothes. We gladly accept gift-in-kind donations, and your help couldn’t come at a better time. Because caring for an individual in recovery takes a long-term commitment.

Our residents in recovery stay at Wayside Cross Ministries from six-months to almost two years depending on their program. Your donations help make that possible.

In addition to financial support, clothing and furniture donations, and personal hygiene items for men, women and children, are always a big help. We also accept food donations directly to our kitchens.

Larger bulk items, like furniture, appliances and household items also go right to work in our thrifty Resale Stores to help defray the costs of individual care. All proceeds from each sale support the programs and people in recovery at our ministry.

Wayside Cross Ministries does not accept used mattresses or box springs. We can only accept new, plastic-sealed mattresses directly from the manufacturer.

For your convenience, giving couldn’t be easier.  To learn more about our ministries to the needy, click here.
