Dropping off donations is designed to be contactless. However, if you have donation related questions when you are dropping things off we are more than happy to check in - though can only do so on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9AM-3PM. This is during our community drop-in space time where we are working with community members, so it may take some time for one of us to become available. Thank you! You are also more than welcome to reach out via email ahead of time!

DONATION GUIDELINES
MAAP strives to provide the community members we support with material aid of the highest quality. Please help us by donating the items in good to new condition with absolutely no rips or stains, scents like mold or mildew, or moisture (please double check items if they've just come out of the dryer or been stored for some time). Items that are not of use to our community members or are not of the best quality take up precious space and cost us valuable time to sort and deliver to organizations where they would best best meet people's needs. Please use your best discretion when choosing items to donate and reach out if you have questions.
PLEASE NOTE: MAAP has been experiencing challenges with moisture in our space for many years. Since the Spring of 2024, we have experienced significant challenges with mold due to continued moisture and construction in our building unrelated to MAAP. The mold was fully remediated in April of 2025. However, as as of the Summer of 2026 moisture still remains a challenge, we ask that you double check your donations to ensure they fall within the donation guidelines. Thank you so much for your continued support and collaboration. We so appreciate you.
