Thanks for being curious about our current needs! We work with lots of families every year, from brand new arrivals, to long-term neighbors facing new struggles, to families moving out of crisis situations into stable housing. Recipients of donations give back by volunteering their time to help load and unload for other families.
In 2025, Global Neighbors is pleased to be opening our Second Home Thrift Store!
General Household Donations
Global Neighbors is blessed with some storage on-site at our office, but it is quite limited, and we need to prioritize items that will be used immediately and gratefully. If you are thinking of bringing items to donate, please see the guidelines below.
Gift Cards
We will always accept gift cards for groceries, gas, and home goods. These are space-friendly, give dignity to clients to make self-directed purchases, and they always fit.
Clothes
We accept gently used clothes in good condition. They must be washed before they are donated.
Winter Gear
We accept new or gently used hats, gloves, and winter boots for kids and adults. We wish we could take coats, but they are too bulky. If you have coats that you would like to donate, please call ahead.
Books
We will gladly take English-language learning materials for adults and kids, including books, picture dictionaries, flash cards, and citizenship study materials. New or gently used is acceptable. Please do not bring explicitly religious material, as we cannot always know which of our clients have experienced religious persecution in their home countries.
Furniture and Household Goods
We are often in need of these, but because space is tight, we have to be particular about what we need at any given time. Please do not show up at the office or Second Home Thrift Store with large items to donate without calling ahead. Donations are by appointment only. Please call our Thrift Store Manager, Mandi Greisch to schedule an appointment 701.219.8632
