DONORS
Absolutely! Please visit our Donation page for information about monetary donations.
Bring all donations to 55 West 15th St.
- Place all donations in the large white bin on the basement level (to the left as you exit the elevator). Please do not leave donations on the floor.
- All donations MUST be secured in plastic or paper bags. Please do not throw loose items into the bin; they take longer to sort and also make lovely bedding for rodents!
