Donate Clothing and Household Goods

We accept your new and gently worn clothing, as well as household goods such as dishes, small appliances, linens, and children’s books. You may drop off your donations at our shop.

Due to our small space, we do not accept furniture without pre-approval. Please email a photo of the furniture to info@ruthshouse.org to get approval.

For baby furniture and gear, please call us ahead of dropping it off to get approval (978) 521-5575.

Donation Tips

1. Keep it Organized

Putting like-items together makes the sorting process faster and easier. Please have all clothing in bags or boxes, not on hangers.

2. Wrap Breakables

Wrapping household items prevents the goods from being broken.

3. Where To Go

When you pull into our parking lot head to the garage to the left of the trash bin. Bring donations into the garage and put on the table, on the ground, or in the white bins.

Items We DO NOT Accept

TVs (unless they are under 5yrs old & are flat-screen)

Mattresses & Boxsprings

Dictionaries & Encyclopedias
