• Donated items should be primarily practical. Clothing especially should be appropriate for outdoor work in the harsh terrain of South Dakota. However, quality items that are less utilitarian will still be accepted. Please– no prom dresses!
• Clothing and other goods for all age groups are welcome, but I would like to do the most for children. Old children’s clothes – especially winter coats, school supplies, backpacks, or space-efficient toys would be great!
