Organizers encourage donations to the boxes, which are not monitored and are available to anyone in need. Anyone can donate items.

The only requirements are that donations are non-perishable food (must not be expired) such as:

• hygiene products

• cleaning supplies

• NEW toys

• NEW clothes

Organizers request no used items to be donated, and that people only take what they need.

Donors and recipients are asked to latch the doors when finished.
