How to Help

Donate Goods

Make a Difference. Consider an In-Kind Donation.

In-kind donations received by LSSNCA serve multiple purposes. We provide free essential goods, household items, and clothing to neighbors in need through our "Shopping with Dignity" program. Textiles are also given a new life and kept out of landfills through ReFiber. 

Shop and ship items directly through LSSNCA's Amazon Wish List or host a collection drive. 

All contributions are tax deductible.

Donation Drop-Off Hours

For August and September, drop-offs will be limited to Fridays from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Please check this page or call 571-591-3065 before visiting.
