American Legion #112 Stuff the Bus

Stuff the Bus at the American Legion #112

We take the following items:
Coats (adult sizes L – 4xl)
Hats (winter)
Gloves
Sleeping bags
Boots (on some occasions and only if they are clean and serviceable)
Socks (NEW ONLY!)

PLEASE: No pants. No dresses. No undergarments. No toys.

Blankets are not a big need although we have places that will take them. Blankets and comforters are not practical for most homeless. Unfortunately, wet is a factor as much as cold and blankets get wet and become burdensome items to carry for somebody who has no place to leave them.

We also do not have much room for children’s sizes as we don’t find kids in the places we go. Typically, most kids get into shelters with special arrangements and accommodations geared towards people their age. We have places to take items donated for children, however, children’s items take resources to sort, store and transfer.
