Household Donations

Almost daily, we get a phone call from a food bank asking for help. A family or elderly person has lost everything through an eviction or foreclosure process. Or, a necessary appliance, such as a washer, dryer or refrigerator, has failed and the family can’t afford to get it repaired – and in most cases the appliances isn't worth the cost of repair. Or in a few instances, a family experienced a non-insured total-loss house fire.

Elephant Talk is always looking for large and small household appliances, kitchen utensils, dishes, and pots & pans. In most instances, we have a family waiting on the items. If not, we store them until they are requested by a food bank. In all instances, the items are returned freely to those in need in our community or for use by a food bank.

If you have such items, consider a donation. We will pick them up or you can drop them off.

We are working on a donation page that captures all the right information – but until then – please send an email to Donations and provide us the following information.

Your name, address and phone number.

A brief description of the items.

A brief description of the condition of the items.

Time, date and place you request the items be picked-up.

Please Note – Items that don’t consistently work properly, or items that are obviously damaged and unusable, or items that may represent a health risk will not be picked-up. We are trying to provide these families with decent donations that resolve their needs – and respect their dignity.
