Clothing: While our homeless guests and recovery program residents rebuild their self-esteem and other inner qualities, we want to provide clothing so their “outward” appearance reflects their life change.  Socks and underwear, jeans, coats, work shoes, tennis shoes and dress shirts are needed in all sizes (especially extra large and tall sizes).

Household furniture, appliances and household items: Gently used furniture, appliances and household items are always in great demand at Buffalo City Mission Thrift Store.

When you give, please remember to:

• Bring new, clean and gently used items in closed boxes or tied bags.  Don’t give torn, stained or broken items that will cost the Mission money to dispose of.
