Item Donations

Day-to-day operations at both shelter locations rely greatly on the items donated by community members. Our most needed item donations include clothing, bedding, towels, and hygiene products. We accept donations each night from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. or by appointment. You can set up an appointment by calling (803) 327-4882 or emailing aruffalo@bethelshelters.com. You may also donate through our Amazon Wishlist. Click the link below to check it out.

Generally we accept gently used, clean men’s casual clothing such as jeans, khakis, outerwear tee shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, coats, tennis shoes, and boots.  We do not accept dress clothing.
