Donate

Give materials or monetary gifts. Both build futures.

Material donations stock our shelves; financial gifts fund mentoring, training, and Huddles. Every path leads to the same place: Milwaukee neighbors rebuilding their lives.

Material Donations

What we can accept

We accept new and unused home improvement materials from businesses and individuals: overstock, discontinued lines, canceled orders, and excess inventory. Free pick-up is available across Southeastern Wisconsin, and donations are tax-deductible.

  • Plumbing fixtures, sinks & vanities

✕ We can’t take

  • Open hazardous materials
  • Items with missing parts or damage
  • Used mattresses, pillows, or blankets
  • Damaged containers

Not sure about an item? Just ask: the form below or a quick call to (414) 383-7792 settles it fast.

Financial Gifts

Fund the mission directly

Store revenue covers a lot, but gifts are what let us say yes to the next person at the door. This is faith in action: a ministry sustained by generosity. The Community Warehouse, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 81-0549816, so gifts are tax-deductible.

  • One-time gift. Every dollar goes to programs: Huddle meals, training materials, mentor support.
  • Monthly giving: Sustaining donors make the long-haul work, year-round mentoring, possible.
  • Business partnership: Sponsor a program, run a donation drive, or hire Partners In Hope graduates.
