TAKE operates a year-round store offering free clothing, shoes, linens, household goods, and more to people in need.
Volunteers also accept & process donations–they go through them to check for cleanliness & condition, sort them, hang or fold them, display them, &/or set them aside for future use in the Christmas Room.
Yes, Christmas Room! TAKE offers a special shopping experience at the holidays. We set aside new & like-new donations of holiday decorations, toys, and other “giftable” items that shoppers can use as presents for their loved ones.
