Thank you for thinking of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church for your charitable giving. We understand there are many people in our community who are struggling and who need clothing, toys, household items, and assistance with non-perishable food.
St. Stephen’s is not able to accept these types of donations due to storage and staffing constraints.
We can accept gift cards to department stores, grocery stores, pharmacies, and local restaurants, and monetary donations to purchase items as needed.
You can best help people in need by donating new or gently used items to the following:
Goodwill Industries
https://goodwill-berkshires.org/what-to-donate/
Berkshire Dream Center
https://www.berkshiredreamcenter.org/give-today
We refer folks to these agencies and others when they are looking for items.
Thank you again for your desire to help those in need. Your generous impulses are a blessing for the community. Contacting the local organizations listed above will translate those impulses into meaningful assistance for our neighbors.
With deep gratitude,
St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church
