In-Kind Donations FAQs

Does everything need to be new? What about used items?

Yes, all donations need to be new. No used clothes, toys or household items will be accepted regardless of their condition due to health guidelines.

Where/ when can I bring donations by? Do I need to make an appointment?

Yes, due to our limited staffing capacity, it is helpful if you schedule an appointment. Please contact us at info@womenagainstabuse.org to schedule a time to drop off your donations to Women Against Abuse’s Business Office at 100 S. Broad Street, Suite 1341, Philadelphia.

Is there parking available?

There is a 30-minute loading zone directly in front of the building. We recommend bringing an extra person to wait with the car, if possible.

Is there a cart I can use to bring the donations upstairs? Will someone be available to help me?

We do have carts you can use to bring the donations upstairs. Please email us at info@womenagainstabuse.org prior to drop off with your load-in needs so we can make the proper accommodations for you.

Do you do pick-ups or do we need to deliver the donations ourselves?

We are not equipped to do pick-ups due to limited staff capacity. All donations must be delivered.

I would like to make a specific donation but I do not see it on your list, can I still bring it?

Mostly likely yes! We gladly accept most donations as long as they are new; this list represents only our urgent or most common needs. Please email us at info@womenagainstabuse.org to discuss the donation prior to requesting an appointment.

Can we mail our gifts to you?

Absolutely! They can be mailed to:

Women Against Abuse

Attn: Advancement

100 South Broad St, Suite 1341

Philadelphia, PA 19102

I have donations but would like to give them directly to your clients. Is this possible?

Since the people we serve are often transitioning out of dangerous situations, we must ensure that their identities are kept confidential. Therefore, it is not possible for donors to meet the clients who will benefit from their contributions.

I have additional questions, who can I contact?

We would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have. Please contact us at info@womenagainstabuse.org.
