Items Needed

If you are donating an item that we need, we ask for new and like-new items for our families. If the items are stained, ripped, or heavily used, please consider donating the items to a different organization.

Items may be dropped off at Sullivan House 7 days a week, between 7:30 AM and 7:00 PM. The address is 3103 9th Rd. N., Arlington, VA 22201.

Upon arrival, you will be asked to please fill out a donation receipt. It only takes a minute, and we thank you in advance! To assess the fair market value of your donated good(s), Goodwill has a great resource you can reference. Click here to learn more.

Bridges to Independence has very little storage space. Thus, we can only accept items that are immediate needs (list above) for our families.

We rarely accept clothing, furniture, appliances, toys, or stuffed animals.

If you are interested in donating some of these options, please send a picture and details to volunteer@bridges2.org. Please allow at least 72 hours for responses.

• Items should be like new or gently-used, free of rips, stains, or damage, and appropriately sized for a small apartment home.
