2025 Community Partner Donation Opportunities
Are you looking to declutter your home to make room for the new year? The University of Scranton Center for Service and Social Justice has provided a list of community partners who would love to take items that no longer serve you and your home, but would make someone else very happy! See the list with links below.
It's important not to donate broken/soiled items to charity because it burdens the organization with unusable goods that require disposal, taking up valuable time and resources that could be used for helping people in need.
