If you go to the
Dollar Scholar, 3279 SE Hawthorne Blvd., 503-235-2222, and tell them that you
are purchasing items for Potluck in the Park, you will receive a 10% discount.
If you need a receipt for donated items, we can provide you with one with our
tax ID# on it.
We ask that personal care items be new and unopened. This does not apply to
backpacks and bags, blankets, sleeping bags and clothing.
Unfortunately we don’t have the capacity to accept furniture or household items.
We suggest you call the Oregon Community Warehouse at 503-235-8786 to make this
type of donation.
If you or someone you know would like to donate items, or volunteer, or if you
know of a business that would post a flyer requesting donations from its staff,
please call Potluck at 503-255-7611, or email us at
contact@potluckinthepark.org.
We will arrange for the pick up of the donated items
Thank you for your generous assistance! |
