Drop-Off Donations
We have set up a new process around our parking lot to get to the Donation Drop Off Area. Our goal is to free up some parking spaces near the building and alleviate traffic back ups on HWY 66. We have put out extra signs to help guide you through our new route.
Donation Pickup Instructions
The Helping Hands truck will pick up large furniture and bulk items in Rockwall County. All donation guidelines still apply. The driver can refuse to pick-up items that he deems unacceptable or unsellable.
Items that we are unable to pick up include:

Armoires
Large Box Style TVs
Credenzas
Entertainment Centers
Executive Style Desks
