In-kind Donations
To date, donations of furniture and housewares have provided each of our Saint Louise House families with a fully-furnished apartment to call home, the entire contents of which become theirs to keep.
With that in mind, we appreciate your donation of new and gently used items. When deciding whether or not to share a donation with Saint Louise House, use this simple litmus test – if you would consider passing your items onto family and/or friends, then they will most likely be welcomed at Saint Louise House.
Please send pictures of possible furniture donations to volunteer@saintlouisehouse.org so we can determine whether they are likely to fit into our apartments. Contact us by this email or by phone at 512-302-0027 to schedule a drop off time.
Note: We do not pick up furniture or household items. Items must be delivered.
