Donation Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We always try to take as many donations as we possibly can. However, we are a small team with limited resources, so please consider the questions below before donating to help us out and make the most of our time.
We accept gently used items for most donations! Our only request is that clothing donations are clean, washed, and folded when we come to pick them up. This means they should be free from pet hair, holes, and stains. The only items that we ask are completely new are undergarments, OTC medications, and hygiene products like shampoos.
We always ask our donors to consider if they themselves would use the item. If so, then feel free to donate it! If not, maybe the trash is a better option. Our goal is always to preserve the dignity of those we share with. Just because someone is in need, it doesn’t mean they don’t deserve clean, quality items.
We’re happy to take most of the items on the list above, but we do have a few items that are highly requested. Priority items that are always particularly helpful are men’s clothes (especially larger sizes), all types of hygiene products, and tents or sleeping bags.
In addition to physical donations for our monthly supply shares, we could also always use bottled water and other supplies for our weekly food shares. You can also check out our supplies wish list at ko-fi.com/lasvegasliberation
We do not accept any items that are beat up, dirty, stained, or full of holes. Please remember that we are sharing with people who also deserve nice items. If you are trying to get rid of it, but it’s questionable whether someone will actually get some use out of it, it’s okay to just throw it away.
Yes, we can provide a donation receipt for both monetary and physical, in-kind donations as a 501(c)3 non-profit. If you are donating physical supplies, please just provide us with a good-faith valuation of these donations for our and your records.
If you fill out our donation request form, a member of our team can pick up directly from you or meet you at a preferred location to receive them. Provide us with your information and we’ll reach out as soon as we can. Typically, we review the form every Wednesday, but will try to get back sooner if possible.
If you prefer to drop your donations off, then you can find us at the CARE Complex at 200 Foremaster Ln. on the second Saturday of each month from 8:30am-11:30am. Just let us know to expect you!
As a small mutual aid collective, we do not have a set physical location yet, which makes it difficult for us to coordinate drop-offs. However, we are always looking for businesses to partner with that can serve as donation drop-off locations that we can pick up from once a week.
