Donations

Our Basic Needs Center accepts donations during our normal business hours.

• We ask that donors only donate items that they believe are in good condition.
• Clothing: Please ensure clothing is not stained or torn and has been washed as our office does not have the resources to launder donated clothing. We are unable to accept any used undergarments. New undergarments with tags are greatly appreciated. 
• Footwear: Please donate shoes that are gently used.
• Kitchen/Misc. Please do not donate items that could be considered weapons such as knives or rusted kitchen items. 
• Electronics: Please ensure all electronics are in working condition and have all necessary cords.
• Toys: Please do not donate broken toys or toys with missing significant parts/items. 
• Jewelry/Accessories: Please sanitize earrings and other accessories before donating. 
• Food: We accept food donations however we ask that they are not expired. 
• Hygiene: We are unable to accept open/used hygiene items including lotion, soap, body wash, etc. 

To receive a donation form through the AVC Foundation, donors must submit a list of items being donated. Each item's value should be estimated using recognized valuation guides such as the following:

• AVC Foundation Gift Form
• Goodwill Valuation Guide
• Salvation Army Valuation Guide

Please submit all documentation prior to donating items to ensure the form can be signed by both our Basic Needs Center and our AVC Foundation office. If donors do not require a gift form they are welcome to contribute to our office without submitting documentation. Documentation can be submitted to basicneeds@avc.edu.
