Working Towards a Brighter Future
We provide members of our community who are in need
with household items
to offer them
“A Hand Up” for a better life!
We are excited to announce that we have partnered with
Flagship Community Bank
to offer a small–item donation box
at their branch office located at 2157 West 8th Street in Erie!
Items will be accepted Monday through Friday (non-holiday weekdays) from 9 am until 4 pm.
Acceptable items include small appliances (Crock Pots, toasters, coffee makers), clean bedding, kitchen utensils, towels, dish towels, and other items in clean, usable condition.
Please view the photos to see the size of the donation box – we are unable to take large items such as furniture at this location, but please reach out to us through our Facebook page to arrange a pick up!
