Accepted Material Donations
The most common recipient of the goods that I accept are single mothers in apartments or smaller homes, so I tend not to accept larger items or non-essential furniture (like large armoires and TV stands). Here is a list of donated items accepted assuming the items are in very good condition and ARM has available storage capacity. Good, accurate pictures of items to be donated are highly encouraged. A tax receipt can be furnished for accepted donations.
